THE  SENIOR  CLASS  OF  WINCHESTER  HIGH  SCHOOL 

WINCHESTER,  MASSACHUSETTS 


Having  gathered  quiet  strength  from  four  years’  rich  experience,  the  Class  of  1946  of  Winchester 
High  School  has  traversed  the  symbolic  span  leading  from  the  idyllic  isolation  of  youth’s  island 
to  walk  on  the  wider,  wiser  shore  of  the  adult  world.  As  they  step  forward,  they 
remain  always  thankful  that  the  days  when  life  seemed  fresh  and  free 
were  spent  here  in  the  town  of  the  Aberjona.

ABERJOHA  ■  1946 


The  Lights  -Are  On  A.gain 

Safely  ensconced  behind  our  ivy  and  our  youth,  we  have  been  able  to  watch  and  wonder 
as  the  world  has  tried  desperately  to  right  itself.  Gradually  we  have  come  to  understand  that 
the  problems  of  peace  are  just  as  difficult  as  those  of  war.  With  this  realization  has  come  also  a 
stronger  desire  to  help  make  possible  a  working  peace  for  the  benefit  of  our  war-racked  world. 
Only  a  few  of  our  eighteen  years  have  been  comparatively  quiet  ones.  We  grew  up  in  years  of 
economic  uncertainty;  we  have  finished  high  school  at  the  close  of  a  grim  war.  And  we  will 
remember  these  last  years  because  they  have  about  them  the  smell  of  smoke  and  blood.  During 
these  years,  although  we  were  aware  of  the  war,  it  seemed  not  quite  real  to  us  until  it  began  to 
reach  its  greedy  fingers  into  our  school  life  itself,  and  to  effect  changes  there.  We  learned  that 
the  war  could  touch  everyone,  and  this  year  we  know  that  the  end  of  war  does  not  necessarily 
mean  the  beginning  of  peace.  We,  as  individuals,  cannot  take  our  peace  for  granted;  rather  we 
must  try,  for  our  own  and  our  neighbors’  salvation,  to  understand  not  only  our  own  country’s 
policies,  but  also  the  policies  of  the  countries  with  whom  we  must  share  the  world: 

We  find  that  what  we  have  learned  of  tolerance  and  critical  observation  in  our  school 
life  and  relationships  will  supplement  the  facts  and  ideas  that  we  have  gained 
from  our  textbooks.  Our  school  in  all  its  many  phases  has  equipped 
us  as  reasoning  people  who  will  try  to  make  the  right 
decisions  for  the  future  peace  and 
well-being  of  mankind.

Robert  M.  Keeney 


QDcdication 

Mr.  Keeney  has  proved  that  a  teacher  can  be  both  a  friend  and  an  inspiration.  He  has  taught  us  to 
think  for  ourselves,  to  form  our  own  opinions,  and  to  defend  them.  He  has,  in  fact,  pro' 
vided  us  with  a  will  and  a  desire  to  learn,  and  to  profit  by  this  learning  in  whatever  we 
do  in  the  future.  If  we  were  asked  in  Mr.  Keeney’s  own  vernacular,  “Would 
anyone  have  three  or  four  questions?’’  we  would  unhesitatingly  reply, 
“Certainly  not,  we  are  sincere  in  saying,  ‘Thank  you,  Mr.  Keeney, 
for  the  many  ways  in  which  you  have  prepared  us  to 
live  as  thinking,  tolerant  people  long  after 
the  years  of  our  graduation.”’

Forbes  H.  Norris,  Ed.D.,  Superintendent 


Administration 

Mr.  Forbes  Norris,  our  new  Superintendent  of  Schools, 
who  came  to  us  from  Richmond,  Virginia,  has  won  his  way  into 
the  hearts  of  the  students  of  Winchester  High  School  by  his 
interest  and  concern  in  school  affairs.  He  has  become  a  familiar 
figure  in  the  high  school  halls  and  we  hope  that  he  will  be  as 
well'known  and  respected  by  other  Winchester  High  School 
students  as  he  is  by  the  Class  of  1946. 

In  February  we  extended  a  “welcome  home”  to  our 
Principal,  Colonel  Wade  Grindle,  who  returned  to  the  high 
school,  having  been  in  the  service  of  our  country  during  the 
war.  In  the  four  months  since  his  return  we  have  learned  to 
consider  him  our  friend  and  leader. 

Mr.  Samuel  Graves,  who  as  Acting  Principal  during 
Colonel  Grindle’s  absence  won  the  admiration  and  respect  of 
us  all,  is  to  be  the  Principal  of  Attleboro  High  School  next  year; 
this  is  our  loss  as  it  is  Attleboro’s  gain.  Members  of  the  School 
Committee  of  Winchester  are  Mr.  Neil  Borden,  Chairman, 
Mr.  Hazen  Ayer,  Mr.  Leo  Garvey,  Mrs.  Christine  Green,  Dr. 
Harry  Mueller,  and  Mrs.  Lyman  Smith.

Faculty 


The  members  of  the  faculty  of  Winchester  High  School  are  a  distinctive  and  grand  group  of  teachers,  and 
although  we  often  rue  the  day  of  school,  homework,  and  teachers,  in  reality  we  know  that  under  their  excellent 
guidance  we  shall  graduate  from  high  school  well  prepared  in  every  respect. 

Of  primary  importance  to  all  of  us  is  American  History.  The  History  Department  is  headed  by  Mrs.  Stacy 
who  says,  “Class,  1  want  all  of  you  to  like  history’’  and  we  find  ourselves  doing  just  that.  Miss  Hall,  Mr.  Cooper, 
and  Mr.  Webster  of  the  Wadleigh  Budding  make  history  and  its  related  subjects  live  for  us.  Mr.  Keeney  heads 
our  English  Department.  No  one  can  ever  forget  the  embarrassment  when  asked  “Won’t  you  talk  along  on  that, 
Clara?’’  or  the  wonderment  of  gates  being  opened  to  Burns,  Shelley,  and  Browning.  Mr.  Stevens,  the  faculty 
adviser  of  the  Senior  Class,  Mr.  Hayward,  Miss  Bailey,  Miss  Crockett,  and  Miss  Bujnievicz  complete  the  depart¬ 
ment.  The  Department  of  Mathematics,  a  delight  to  some  and  a  horror  to  others,  is  headed  by  Mr.  Butters  and 
includes  mathematicians  Mr.  Rogers,  Mr.  Weafer,  Miss  Carmichael,  Mr.  Card,  and  Mr.  Seferian.  Dr.  Alley,  our 
head  scientist,  and  Mr.  Card,  Miss  Peabody,  and  Mr.  Headstrom  make  up  the  Science  Department.  Mr.  Albro, 
with  his  droll  wit  and  ready  quip,  and  Miss  Carmichael  constitute  the  Latin  Department;  the  French  Department 
is  ably  handled  by  Miss  Mackedon,  who  is  not  only  teaching  French  but  also  knitting  afghans  (at  least  indirectly). 
Miss  Knowlton,  who  toujours  looks  as  French  as  the  subject  she  teaches,  and  Miss  Bujnievicz.  Spanish  has 
prospered  this  year,  under  the  guidance  of  Mr.  Kotkov  and  Miss  Mackedon,  and  a  Spanish  Club  has  been  organ¬ 
ized  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Kotkov.  The  Commercial  Department,  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Bronson, 
Miss  Skornik,  and  Miss  Bennett  ably  prepares  students  for  the  business  world.  In  the  sports  line,  we  all  agree 
that  Coach  Knowlton  and  Mis.  Matthews  are  tops  and  a  hearty  vote  of  thanks  goes  to  them.  All  in  all,  our 
faculty  have  done  a  great  deal  toward  letting  us  look  back  on  our  high  school  days  with  fond  memories.

ciation;  Basketball. 

One  of  the  most  faithful  and  sincere  friends  a  person  could  have, 
Jeanie  has  what  it  takes!  Raven  hair  that  curls  all  by  itself,  eyes  of 
sparkling  brown,  and  a  cheerful  smile  for  all  of  us,  these  are  but  a 
part  of  her  attraction.  Jeanie’s  years  at  B.  U.  should  be  chock-full  of 
accomplishments  and  pleasures. 

ELLEN  BAYLIES 
Colby  College 

Activities:  Traffic  Squad;  Red  and  Black;  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Science 
Club;  Basketball;  Field  Hockey. 

You  always  know  when  Ellen’s  around  by  her  gay  chatter  and  con¬ 
tagious  laughter.  Along  with  her  gift  of  gab,  she  has  a  fine  personality, 
good  looks,  and  plenty  of  grey  matter  —  assets  which  go  far  to  make 
any  girl  a  great  success. 


ANNE  MARIE  AMICO 
Colby  Junior  College 

Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Chorus;  Library  Club. 

Anne  .  .  .  brown  eyes  that  flash  and  laugh,  a  smile  unfailing  in  its 
cheerfulness,  and  a  personality  warm  and  vibrant!  Anne  has  always

person  who  brightens  life  for  others. 

ROBERT  JOSEPH  BERANGER 
Activities:  Science  Club;  Traffic  Squad;  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Baseball; 
Track. 

Another  one  of  our  amiable  seniors,  Bob  is  noted  for  his  consistent 
good  nature.  His  rugged  good  looks  were  of  prime  importance  to 
numerous  Vaudeville  performances,  especially  one  never-to-be-for¬ 
gotten  huba-huba  dance  in  which  certain  other  masculine  “beauties” 
also  participated. 

MARY  CATHERINE  ARMATO 
Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Traffic  Squad;  Chorus;  Red  Cross;  Library 
Club;  Math  Club. 

Mary,  the  girl  with  the  happy  smile,  can  be  proud  of  her  four  years 
on  the  honor  roll.  Added  to  this,  Mary’s  all-round  interest  in  school 
activities  makes  her  one  of  the  Class  of  ’46  who  will  long  be  remem¬ 
bered  by  her  many  friends.  A  swell  gal,  well-liked! 

RICHARD  ALLAN  BLACKHAM 

Harvard  University 

Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Red  and  Black;  Aberjona;  Chorus;  Class  Play 
Committee;  Art  Club;  Thrift  Association. 

Dick’s  an  idealist,  at  home  in  the  world  of  records,  art,  and  books. 
If  W.  H.  S.  is  harboring  a  liberal  arts  student,  it’s  Dick;  and  though 
we  may  wonder  about  him,  it’s  fairly  safe  to  say  that  his  taste  is 
well-founded  and  his  ideas  are  worthwhile.  Swamped  by  committee 
tasks,  he  still  has  time  to  turn  out  “A”  work  and  even  be  an  amiable 
sort  of  fellow. 

DONALD  CUMMINGS  ARMSTRONG 
Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Student  Council;  Traffic  Squad,  Chief;  Vaude¬ 
ville;  Aberjona  Club;  Football;  Baseball ;  Hockey,  Captain.

and  well.  He  is  famous  for  his  “Charles  Atlas”  physique  and  his 
notable  skill  on  the  football  field.  Donnie  has  filled  a  pretty  big  place 
in  the  senior  class  and  is  really  a  top-notch  performer  in  any  field. 

HAROLD  DEXTER  BLENKHORN 
U nited  States  Navy 
Activities:  Chorus;  Orchestra. 

That  stellar  clarinet  player  you’ve  seen  in  the  band  is  Blenk.  He 
is  one  who  spends  much  time  in  Room  2,  like  many  other  commercial 
students.  With  a  yen  for  horses  and  horseback  riding,  he  manages  to 
take  a  little  time  out  from  his  musical  activities  to  have  a  bit  of  fun 
on  the  bridle  path.  Here’s  hoping  you  give  “B.  G.,”  that  other  good 
clarinet  player,  a  run  for  his  money,  Blenk!

SHIRLEY  HOLBROOK  BONNELL 
Activities:  Traffic  Squad;  Red  and  Black;  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Red 
Cross;  Thrift  Association;  Basketball. 

Shirl  has  that  certain  laughing  personality  that’s  catching  (espe¬ 
cially  to  the  male  species).  She  is  sincere,  energetic,  and  has  an  un¬ 
beatable  sense  of  humor,  not  to  mention  a  slick  figure,  super- 
fashionably  garbed.  Nothing  but  the  best  for  Shirl! 

JANE  CARROLL  BURCHETT 
Katherine  Gibbs  School 
Activities:  Traffic  Squad. 

Quiet  and  modest  is  Jane.  Hardly  a  peep  is  heard  from  her  direc¬ 
tion,  although  she  gives  W.  H.  S.  her  share  of  school  spirit.  Jane 
joined  our  class  as  a  sophomore,  only  to  leave  us  in  the  junior  year; 
we  were  all  happy  to  welcome  her  again  this  last  and  most  eventful 
year.

The  John  Barrymore  (sans  profile)  of  the  Dramatic  Club  displayed 
marked  ability  in  every  performance  of  that  organization  in  which

Aberjona  Club;  Art  Club;  Basketball;  Field  Hockey. 
Dottie  is  energy  personified,  and  she  expends  it  on  various  schemes, 
each  one  either  a  source  of  fun  or  a  cause  of  headache  to  her  friends. 

MARY  JEAN  BROWNING 
Cornell  U niversity 

Activities:  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Red  Cross;  Executive  Board;  Science 
Club;  Basketball;  Field  Hockey;  Cheer  Leading. 

M.  J.  is  the  athletic  type,  a  star  in  every  .sport.  A  whiz  at  hockey, 
she  swishes  her  way  through  ba.sketball,  and  is  a  regular  mermaid  in 
the  briny  deep.  Mary  Jean  is  sincere,  conscientious,  even-tempered, 
and  above  all  a  true  friend  to  all.  There’s  no  doubt  about  it,  M.  J. 
is  tops!

Activities:  Red  and  Black,  Staff  Editor,  Co-Editor-in-Chief;  Class 
Play;  Aberjona;  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Dramatic  Club; 
Aberjona  Club;  Thrift  Association;  Basketball. 

Whatever  Marilyn  has  a  hand  in  is  always  a  success.  Her  gay 
smile  greets  everyone  and  her  enthusiasm  inspires  many  a  school 
activity.  Lyn  is  one  in  a  million,  with  her  talent  in  writing  and 
also  in  art.  Luck  to  you,  Lyn,  with  that  best-seller! 


PHYLLIS  BUCCI 
U niversity  of  California 

Aqtivities:  Honor  Roll;  Aberjona;  Chorus;  Class  Play  Committee; 
Vaudeville;  Class  Secretary,  ’44. 

Tall,  attractive  Phyl,  with  a  knack  at  wearing  clothes  well,  has 
won  many  friends  with  her  pleasant  disposition.  Active  in  many 
extra-curricular  events,  she  has  always  come  through  with  a  good  job. 
Phyl  is  part  of  the  cream  of  the  crop. 

PAULINE  CAPONE 
Kathleen  Dell  School 

Dark-eyed,  cheerful  Pauline,  otherwise  known  as  Pollyander,  has 
an  eye  on  the  Kathleen  Dell  School  and  a  future  in  the  business  world, 
unless  her  interest  in  music  sidetracks  her  into  the  artistic  field. 
Whichever  you  choo.se,  stay  happy,  Pauline!

MARY  FRANCES  CARROLL 

Activities:  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Library  Club;  Hockey;  Basketball. 

^  you  think  Mary  is  shy  —  you’re  very  much  mistaken.  Her  sense 
^  humor  and  pleasant  disposition  make  her  fun  to  have  around. 
Her  active  part  in  hockey  and  basketball  makes  her  a  necessary 
member  of  both.  A  swell  gal  who  will  do  justice  to  that  nursing  cap 
when  she  dons  it  in  the  fall. 


FREDERICK  LEWIS  COMBES 
Tufts  College 

Activities:  Science  Club;  Math  Club. 

A  bit  on  the  sober  side,  but  one  who  is  never  studying  too  hard  to 
greet  everyone  with  an  “Ipana”  smile  is  that  handsome  lad,  Fred. 
Although  the  Science  and  IVXath  Clubs  absorb  much  of  his  attention, 
it  has  been  rumored  that  Fred  is  not  entirely  averse  to  feminine 
company.  His  pleasantness  is  one  of  the  things  for  which  he  will  be 
remembered. 


DOROTHY  CARRUTHERS 
Westbrook  Junior  College 

Activities:  Traffic  Squad;  Aberjona;  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Basketball. 

Long,  luxurious  hair,  elegant  clothes,  and  a  figure  to  match  — 
that’s  Dottie!  With  such  a  combination  she  could  not  miss  making 
friends,  especially  those  of  the  male  species.  Dottie  has  given  more 
good  times  to  more  people,  in  her  blue  convertible,  than  anybody 
else  we  know. 


ANNA  SHIRLEY  COMITA 
Activities:  Chorus;  Vaudeville. 

Good-natured  Anne,  whose  ambition  is  to  sing  with  a  big-name 
band,  has  lent  her  talents  to  Chorus  ably  for  two  years.  Your  friends 
of  W.  H.  S.,  who  have  enjoyed  the  past  years  with  you,  hope  your 
yen  for  music  is  satisfied  when  your  dream  comes  true,  Anne! 


THOMAS  WILLIAM  COGAN 

Activities:  Baseball. 

Tom  whipped  through  school,  stopping  long  enough  to  play  base¬ 
ball,  and  gave  to  the  sport  his  undivided  attention.  Many  a  feminine 
eye  has  been  cast  on  Tom’s  curly  hair  with  envy,  but  with  true  mas¬ 
culine  indifference  he  is  unaware  of  this  attention.  He’s  by  far  the 
gayest  guy  when  triumphant,  but,  win  or  lose,  Tom’s  equanimity  is 
superb. 


WILLIAM  TARR  CUNNINGHAM 
Activities:  Student  Council;  Chorus;  Band;  Class  Play;  Vaudeville; 
Hockey. 

Red  is  that  suave  young  gentleman  whom  we  see  strolling  down  the 
corridors  with  that  certain  twinkle  in  his  eye,  strictly  for  the  fairer 
sex.  He  has  a  tremendous  capacity  for  making  friends  wherever  he 
goes,  which  is  easy  to  understand  when  you  consider  that  particu¬ 
larly  nice  warm  smile  of  his.  A  bit  of  a  temper  that  matches  his  hair 
makes  Red  one  of  the  most  interesting  members  of  the  class  of  ’46. 

MARJORIE  COLLIANDER 

Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Aberjona;  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Red  Cross; 
Class  Vice-President,  ’45. 

Collie,  a  very  cute  brownette,  has  been  on  the  permanent  honor 
roll  for  four  years,  and  that  is  an  achievement  to  be  proud  of.  Speak¬ 
ing  of  achievements.  Collie  is  a  whiz-bang  typist  with  a  word  per 
minute  record  that  rivals  an  expert’s.  She  finishes  up  the  things  she 
starts,  a  trait  we  all  admire. 

CONRAD  DANA 
Tufts  College 

Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Traffic  Squad;  Vaudeville;  Science  Club; 
Math  Club;  Track. 

Connie  may  be  quiet  and  unassuming  in  the  classrooms  and  halls 
of  W.  H.  S.,  but  just  get  him  out  on  a  ski  trail  and  he  proves  him.self 
one  of  those  smooth  upright  performers,  and  we  do  mean  upright. 
Connie  will  always  be  remembered  for  his  friendly  smile.

Football;  Class  Treasurer,  ’45. 

Joe  is  that  happy-go-lucky  man  about  town  who  always  has  a 
cheery  hello  for  those  around  him.  His  executive  ability  won  him  the 
position  of  treasurer  of  the  class  in  our  junior  year  Joe  h^ds  the 
common  hope  of  all  of  us  —  that  of  passing  United  States  History. 
Don’t  ever  lose  that  grin,  Joe,  for  it  is  bound  to  take  you  a  long  way. 

BARBARA  GRAY  DONAGHEY 

Activities:  ^indent  Council;  Red  and  Black;  Aberjona;  Chorus;

Hockey.  .  .. 

That  tiny,  dark-haired  girl  so  often  seen  mimeographing  notices 
or  working  for  the  Library  Club  (.she’s  president)  is  Rabbit.  A  whiz 
on  the  basketball  court  and  hockey  field,  she’s  a  great  athlete 
and  you  should  see  her  swim !  Rabbit  has  placed  in  almost  every  meet 
at  Wedge  Pond,  and  she  aspires  to  be  a  swimming  champ  some  day. 


MARIETTA  DE  TESO 

Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Chorus;  Red  Cross;  Basketball. 

With  pretty  hair  and  pretty  eyes,  Mary  is  a  girl  that  you  look  at 
twice  —  that  luscious  wavy  hair  and  those  dark  eyes  to  match.  Well, 
Mary  is  a  girl  who  merits  that  second  look  and  even  a  prolonged  gaze. 
Furthermore,  she  has  the  luck  to  combine  brains  with  looks  and  is 
no  stranger  to  the  honor  roll. 


CHARLES  THOMAS  DOUCETTE,  JR. 

Tufts  Medical  School 

Activities:  Thrift  Association.  . 

Charlie’s  the  fellow  you  often  see  scurrying  around  m  a  very  busi¬ 
nesslike  manner,  with  a  cheery  “Hi  for  all.  He  has  the  brain  power 
to  go  a  long  way,  along  with  a  grand  sense  of  humor.  It  is  rumored 
that  Charlie  will  be  in  the  Navy  before  too  long,  so  keep  smiling 
and  may  you  go  on  making  friends  wherever  the  Admirals  send  you! 


KATHLEEN  DEVLIN 
Activities:  Chorus;  Red  Cross;  Basketball. 

Kay,  that  good-looking  girl  with  the  calm  and  composed  manner, 
is  not  one  to  lose  her  temper,  except  on  rare  occasions.  Well  liked 
by  many,  her  attractive  smile  is  never  to  be  forgotten.  Her  ambition 
is  to  become  Mrs.  A.  J.  (Wonder  who  that  could  be.!*) 

THOMAS  DRAPEAU 
Boston  University  Medical  School 

Tom  is  that  suave,  red-haired  traffic  lieutenant  whom  you  ve  all 
seen  in  the  middle  of  the  first  floor  corridor.  Remember,  single  file 
and  no  whistling!  Traveling  is  Tom’s  favorite  activity,  and  some  day 
he  hopes  to  climb  to  the  top  of  Mt.  Everest.  To  all  the  fairer  sex 
who  indulge  in  lipstick  wearing  —  beware!  Tom’s  pet  peeve  is  too 
much  of  that  glamour  on  girls  (0-ho!).  Tom’s  always  ready  with  a 
smile,  an  open-sesame  to  the  good  things  in  life. 


MARY  FRANCES  DI  MAMBRO 
Activities:  Chorus. 

Attractive,  dark-eyed  Mary,  the  girl  who  likes  dancing,  swimnaing 
and  football,  is  planning  to  concentrate  her  many  interests  into 
becoming  a  fashion  expert.  Her  good  taste  now  would  indicate  that 
she  has  chosen  the  right  field.  Who  knows,  we  may  some  day  see 
flashed  on  the  screen,  “Gowns  by  Mary  Di  Mambro.”

Effervescent  Rosie  is  a  girl  of  many  moods.  Sparkling  with  cheer¬ 
fulness  most  of  the  time,  she  has  her  serious  moments  with  those  who 
know  her  best.  With  cheeks  to  match  her  name,  this  popular  girl 
has  brightened  many  a  dull  day  with  her  lively  laughter.

MARJORIE  JOAN  EBENS 

Some  people  call  Margie  reserved,  but  her  spontaneous  smile  and 
love  of  fun  will  dispell  any  such  illusions.  Crazy  about  Spanish,  she 
hopes  some  day  to  be  able  to  speak  it  fluently.  No  doubt  we’ll  see 
her  “South  of  the  Border’’  one  of  these  days  organizing  and  installing 
Mexican  youth  hostels.

Vice-President;  Class  Play;  Vaudeville;  Dramatic  Club, 
Secretary;  Aberjona  Club;  Math  Club;  Basketball;  Class 
Secretary,  ’46;  Junior-Senior  Prom  Committee. 

Although  Jennie  Lou’s  petiteness  is  the  cause  of  the  thwarting  of  her 
own  secret  ambition  (to  grow  four  or  five  inches),  it  contributed  to 
her  great  success  as  leading  lady  in  the  class  play.  Jenny  Lou  is  an 
actress  of  superior  ability.  Her  art  is  not  limited  to  dramatics,  for 
she  has  a  natural  gift  for  drawing  which  she  has  put  to  good  use 
during  the  last  four  years. 

PATRICIA  LOUISE  EBERLE

’42;  Thrift;  Basketball;  Tennis. 

Committees  galore  and  never  a  dull  moment  —  this  all-round  girl 
is  a  born  leader.  If  W.  H.  S.  ever  awards  “E’’s  for  efficiency,  Pat 
should  be  in  the  front  row.  She  well  deserved  the  Mansfield-Wheeler 
Cup. 

NORMA  ELIZABETH  FARRAR 
New  England  Conservatory  of  Music 
Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Chorus;  Class  Play;  Vaudeville;  Red  Cross; 
Art  Club. 

Norm  is  known  around  school  as  the  girl  with  the  happy  disposi¬ 
tion.  Among  her  many  talents  are  singing,  drawing,  and  piano  play¬ 
ing.  Her  hobby  of  collecting  insignia  from  the  armed  forces  all  over 
the  world  has  added  to  her  large  circle  of  friends. 

JOY  ELDRIDGE 
New  England  Conservatory  of  Music 
Activities:  Chorus;  Art  Club;  Red  Cross. 

Joy  has  a  knack  for  putting  everyone  at  ease.  Her  long  golden 
hair  is  a  symbol  of  the  gayety  she  carries  with  her.  Interested  in 
art,  she  thinks  of  painting  as  a  hobby,  and  of  music  as  an  ambition. 

MARTHA  MARIE  FAY 

Iowa  State  College 

Activities:  Red  and  Black,  Advertising  Manager;  Red  Cross;  Dramatic

Mardy’s  the  girl  with  big  brown  eyes  and  a  lively  sense  of  humor. 
She  loves  to  paint,  and  has  a  passion  for  symphonies  and  the  United 
States  Navy.  She’s  always  agreeable  and  willing  to  take  responsi¬ 
bility.  Mardy  has  a  faculty  for  having  fun  in  such  a  way  that  every¬ 
one  else  must  have  fun,  too. 


GEORGE  WILLIAM  ELLIOTT 
Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Traffic  Squad. 

El  is  a  sober  boy,  but  has  made  many  friends  during  his  four  years 
in  W.  H.  S.  He  is  a  hard  worker  in  every  subject  he  undertakes  and 
successfully  made  the  hon  r  roll  for  three  years  —  a  proud  record. 
He  claims  that  his  pet  peeve  is  taking  tests,  but  judging  from 
that  honor  roll  record,  we  think  he  has  little  to  worry  about  on 
that  score.  El’s  future  plans  all  seem  to  be  connected  with  the 
United  States  Army,  and  we  all  know  he  will  make  the  grade  in  the 
Army. 


RUDOLPH  FERRERA 

Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Red  Cross;  Football. 

W’hen  Rudy  put  down  opposite  his  secret  ambition,  “The  sky  is 
the  limit,’’  it  told  us  much  about  him.  Evidently  he’s  aiming  high, 
and  with  his  fine  physique  and  height,  he  should  be  able  to  reach 
up  and  attain  that  ambition  of  his.

BARBARA  FRY 
Middlebury  College 

Activities:  Math  Club;  Basketball;  Chorus;  Class  Play  Committee. 

Barb  is  one  of  those  few  people  who  combine  both  brains  and 
beauty  successfully  —  sparkling  eyes,  beautiful  complexion,  and  ski- 
jump  nose  plus  straight  A’s  prove  our  point.  Barb  has  been  with  us 
just  this  senior  year  and  we  all  wish  that  we’d  had  the  pleasure  of 
her  company  all  through  high  school. 


BARBARA  ELIZABETH  FITZGERALD 
Activities:  A.  A.;  Traffic  Squad;  Red  Cross;  Library  Club. 

Bobbie,  with  her  vim  and  vigor,  hopes  some  day  to  be  the  “perfect” 
secretary;  and  she  should  be,  since  she  has  proved  her  capabilities  at 
W.  H.  S.  She  likes  swimming  and  bowling,  and  her  pet  dislike  is 
over-demonstrative  people.  We  hope  she  will  always  keep  that 
happy  smile  and  pleasing  disposition. 

JACLYN  ANNE  GEERTS 
Rolp  School 

Activities:  A.  A.;  Chorus;  Red  Cross;  Basketball;  Aberjona. 

Have  you  noticed  that  bright-eyed,  brown-haired  girl  walking 
around  the  corridors  of  W.  H.  S..®  Well,  that’s  Jackie.  She’s  the  one 
that  makes  study  halls  and  classrooms  interesting  —  the  one  that 
can  keep  you  smiling  all  the  time.  Almost  violent  in  her  likes  and 
dislikes,  Jackie  has  made  a  lasting  impression  upon  the  rest  of  us.

affable  personality  that  has  made  him  popular  with  both  the  sexes. 
He  showed  great  promise  in  the  executive  field  by  his  management 
of  the  basketball  team. 

THEODORE  ELLIOT  GINSBERG 
Boston  University 

Activities:  Traffic  Squad;  Chorus;  Orchestra;  Band;  Science  Club; 
Track. 

You’ve  seen  Ted,  that  tall  thin  boy,  play  a  trumpet  in  the  orchestra 
and  the  band.  Ted  hopes  to  follow  in  the  footsteps  of  Harry  James, 
his  idol.  In  order  to  realize  this  ambition,  he  practices  in  the  orches¬ 
tra  as  well  as  in  the  band.  His  interests,  however,  are  not  limited  to 
music,  for  Ted  is  a  sports  enthusiast,  and  he  has  won  many  friends 
without  the  use  of  his  trumpet. 


CHARLOTTE  RUTH  FLOWERS 
Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Chorus. 

One  of  the  pleasantly  sedate  members  of  the  class.  Char  has  been 
an  honor  roll  student  for  three  years.  Her  ambition  to  go  abroad  we 
hope  will  be  fulfilled  so  she  may  add  to  the  fine  store  of  knowledge 
she  has  acquired  at  W.  H.  S. 

FRANK  McClellan  gunby,  jr. 

Clemson  College 

Activities:  Science  Club,  Executive  Board;  Track;  Indoor  Track;

Radiating  goodwill,  Frank  is  a  happy-go-lucky  fellow  who  knows 
how  to  please  the  “customers”  at  Winchester  High,  and  at  one  of  the 
local  drugstores.  It’s  pretty  certain  that  this  experience  will  be  of 
great  value  when  he  leaves  W.  H.  S.  for  Clemson.

Jim  is  that  good-looking  gUy,  a  little  bit  shy,  who  was  dynamite 
on  the  football  field.  He  was  also  dynamite  with  the  fair  damsels 
who  gazed  with  longing  eye  in  his  direction.  His  potential  All- 
American  toe  booted  the  team  to  victory  in  many  a  tight  spot.

Bob,  with  the  pleasant  smile  and  the  even  disposition,  can  always 
be  counted  on  to  give  a  friendly  greeting  in  passing.  He  is  an  extraor¬ 
dinarily  good  tennis  player  and  no  laggard  on  the  track.  This  speed 
even  shows  in  his  sense  of  humor,  which  pops  forth  at  the  least- 
expected  moment.

ability.  She  has  made  lots  of  friends  here  in  a  very  short  time.

Basketball. 

A  staunch  supporter  of  both  the  orchestra  and  band,  Marion  has 
really  been  one  of  the  mainstays  of  the  musical  life  of  the  school. 
Her  fine  voice  has  added  greatly  to  chorus  and  her  piano  playing  be¬ 
tween  acts  of  the  vaudeville  shows  has  been  most  distinctive.  Her 
graciousness  has  made  her  one  of  the  nicest  girls  in  the  class.  Here’s 
to  you.  Mar.  We  appreciate  all  you’ve  done.

for  dear  old  W.  H.  S.,  Head  heaves  bulk  ice  cream  at  that  popular 
gathering  place  beginning  with  a  “B.”  This  he  does  with  the  pur¬ 
poseful  air  of  a  lad  who  means  business.

There’s  a  grin  on  her  face  and  a  happy  word  in  her  mind;  she  has 
poise  and  is  charmingly  likable.  With  your  good  sense  to  back  up 
your  happy-go-lucky  way,  you’re  bound  to  be  a  worthy  addition  to 
the  Colby  campus,  Allie.

Long,  shiny,  blonde  page-boy,  and  figure  deluxe.  Dude  really  graces

participated  in  many  other  activities,  Johnny  excels  in  Chorus  and

Lennie,  the  strong  silent  type,  is  quite  appealing  to  the  opposite 
sex  —  especially  a  certain  little  blonde.  Since  hockey  is  I^ennie’s 
favorite  pastime,  he  feels  very  much  at  home  on  skates.  Like  all  his 
brothers,  he  is  Navy-bound  and  we  know  that  the  Navy  will  welcome 
him  next  summer.

for  her  lovely  smile  and  her  ability  to  look  nice  always.  With  your

Beverly  Hospital  Training  School 
Activities:  Chorus;  Vaudeville;  Library  Club. 

Phyl,  the  petite  and  sweet,  is  one  of  the  most  genial  girls  we  know. 
Her  sparkling  enthusiasm  makes  her  fun  to  be  with.  ’Tis  true  that 
the  nicest  things  come  in  small  packages,  and  in  this  case  the  most 
dynamic  do,  too. 

KATHERINE  EILEEN  MacISAAC

That  pretty,  petite,  pert  blonde  with  the  appealing  voice  has  been 
a  mainstay  in  Chorus  for  four  years,  and  in  Vaudeville  for  two  years. 
Denie  plans  to  attend  Kathleen  Dell  School,  and  we  know  she  will 
be  a  great  asset  to  any  office,  as  a  secretary,  unless  some  music  scout 
discovers  her  first! 

FRANK  BROWN  LIVINGSTONE

Hockey. 

Frank  is  one  of  the  more  reserved  members  of  the  senior  class 
with  a  combination  of  brains  and  a  sense  of  humor  —  pretty  good 
proof  of  a  pretty  good  guy.  Frankie’s  size  makes  him  one  of  the 
fastest  wings  on  the  hockey  team,  and  he  really  knows  how  to  handle 
a  puck. 

RICHARD  LEONARD  M.^cNEILL 
Massachusetts  State  College 
Activities:  Hockey,  Class  Play. 

When  not  playing  a  good  hard  game  of  hockey,  Mac  can  be  found 
ice-fishing  in  the  winter,  and  fishing  in  the  nearby  lakes  and  streams 
in  the  summer.  No  doubt  this  love  of  fishing  is  what  gives  him  that 
meditative  manner  which  is  so  very  intriguing.  Let’s  hope  the  days 
ahead  at  Mass  State  will  help  him  get  a  line  on  the  best  in  life.  Pull 
in  a  big  catch,  Mac.

Jimmie  is  a  little  man  with  a  big  sense  of  humor.  With  his  happy- 
go-lucky  attitude  and  his  brains,  he’ll  certainly  find  a  welcome 
wherever  he  goes  and  whatever  he  does.  Definitely,  he  is  our  person¬

NORBERT  FOREST  MANDERVILLE 
United  States  Navy 

Knobby,  that  five-foot  powerhouse  with  the  flaming  topknot,  is 
full  of  the  fire  that  goes  with  red  hair.  He  has  the  police  well  trained, 
for  they  look  the  other  way  whenever  he  whizzes  past.  His  ambition 
is  to  become  a  state  policeman,  probably  because  he  wants  to  hang 
those  pretty  tickets  on  car  doors.  Knobby  is  a  true  angler,  along 
with  his  many  other  talents,  and  can  tell  those  traditional  fish  stories, 
to  the  delight  of  his  many  friends. 


MARILYN  ANN  MAGUIRE

Activities:  Traffic  Squad;  Chorus;  Vaudeville. 

Marilyn  may  be  a  conservative,  but  she’s  the  sweetest  conservative 
that  a  bunch  of  radicals  like  us  could  ever  find.  Her  likeable  disposi¬

May  she  find  her  full  share  of  it,  as  she  and  Margie  pursue  their 
favorite  activity  of  bicycling  to  youth  hostels. 


CECILIA  LORETTA  MALLOY 
Cecilia,  the  individualist,  scorning  the  short  or  the  long  bob,  wears 
her  brownette  hair  in  two  shining  braids  in  coronet  style.  She  is 
one  of  those  amiable  persons  who  has  no  pet  peeve,  and  she  is  eager 
to  become  an  aviatrix.  Keep  ’em  flying,  Cecilia! 

SHEILA  MARGARET  MARTIN 
“The  friendly  girl  with  the  carefree  air”  describes  Sheila  who,  like 
many  other  members  of  the  class,  is  planning  to  take  the  business

which  she  dealt  out  as  hockey  manager.  She  wants  to  be  a  doctor

ambition  is  to  take  over  where  Amelia  Earheart  left  off,  and  Mickey 
has  just  the  qualities  to  do  this.  With  a  carefree  air  that  can’t  be

Dramatic  Club;  Art  Club. 

Although  Lillie  is  shy  and  quiet  when  one  first  meets  her,  her  friends 
know  that  she  is  just  the  opposite  when  the  occasion  arises.  Lillie 
hails  from  the  deep  South  and  has  won  her  way  into  the  hearts  of 
many  so-called  Yankees,  especially  a  Yankee  sailor.  What  will  the 
vaudeville  do  without  “Lil”.''

but  in  doing  so  does  not  sacrifice  his  winning  smile  and  pleasing  per¬ 
sonality.  Having  represented  many  of  the  clubs  in  school,  he  will, 
no  doubt,  be  one  of  those  “big  representatives”  at  M.  I.  T.  The 
scientific  world  had  better  look  out  for  its  laurels  when  Pete  enters  it, 

HELEN  FRANCES  McGOWAN 
Massachusetts  General  Hospital 
Activities:  Chorus;  Library  Club;  Red  Cross;  Hockey. 

One  of  those  serene  persons  who  gives  you  a  feeling  of  ease  .  .  . 
Helen  fits  this  description.  Taking  an  active  part  in  hockey,  she 
really  knows  how  to  handle  that  ball.  She  plans  to  become  a  nurse 
and  hopes  to  enter  training  school  next  fall.  It  is  easy  to  predict 
her  success  as  she  has  been  adept  at  all  the  things  she  has  under¬ 
taken  at  W.  H.  S.

spends  his  summers  winning  riding  trophies,  but  has  lately  given  this 
up  in  favor  of  washing  dishes  at  a  summer  hotel  in  Maine.  Gordon

interesting  for  all  those  who  come  in  contact  with  her.

Muffin  keeps  her  finger  in  almo.st  every  activity  in  a  most  vivacious 
manner.  Her  pep  on  the  athletic  field  and  in  the  swimming  pool 
contribute  to  making  her  a  star.  The  freedom  and  exuberance  which 
show  up  in  her  enthusiasm  for  sports  is  also  visible  in  her  art  work. 
The  success  of  many  school  activities  has  been  due  in  great  measure 
to  June’s  artistic  contributions.

Club;  Football;  Track. 

Jim  is  one  of  those  fellows  who  has  the  gift  of  gab,  and  who  is  able 
to  talk  himself  in  or  out  of  any  situation.  He  is  well  known  and  well 
liked  around  school,  and  added  to  these  personal  attributes,  he  has  a 
wide  interest  in  all  school  activities.  Jim  will  be  missed,  for  he  has 
added  a  great  deal  of  color  to  school  life.

Twig,  the  man  of  mystery  (as  far  as  girls  are  concerned)  can 
always  be  identified  by  his  contagious  laugh,  which  can  be  roused  at 
the  slightest  provocation  when  he  is  with  the  gang.  His  own  par¬ 
ticular  brand  of  humor  has  enlivened  many  dull  days.  Extremely 
well  liked  and  popular  with  everyone.  Twig  is  an  all-round  boy  who 
contributed  much  to  the  three  major  sports  of  the  school. 

MARY  ALYCE  MULLEN

her  way  into  our  hearts. 

JOSEPH  JOHN  NOONAN 

Joe,  the  strong  silent  type,  is  an  ardent  sports  fan.  When  he  can 
take  his  mind  off  the  sports  pages  long  enough,  Joe  nourishes  a  secret 
ambition  to  fly  (pilots  take  warning!).  With  these  two  major  interests, 
it  is  natural  that  Joe  should  be  one  of  the  many  members  of  the 
Girl  Haters  Local,  Number  992.

Activities:  Traffic  Squad;  Chorus. 

Always  rough  and  ready  in  the  company  of  men,  Eddie  Joe  is  a 
changed  man  among  the  fairer  sex.  With  Eddie  around  no  one 
need  fear  a  dull  moment,  as  he  possesses  a  certain  quality  which 
lends  life  to  the  dullest  class.  Eddie  really  is  that  “good  humor’’  man.

Irish  gift-of-gab  and  a  decided  talent  for  mimicry.  Harp  was  always

to  dance  with  him  say  he  is  bound  to  be  a  second  Fred  Astaire.  Luck

there?” 

“Oh,  that’s  Sam,  one  of  the  outstanding  scientists  of  our  class.”

With  striking  good  looks,  Marg  commands  attention  and  interest 
wherever  she  goes.  She  has  a  passionate  devotion  for  the  Boston 
Bruins,  but  shares  with  Patty  an  antipathy  for  the  Detroit  Red 
Wings.  Her  intelligence  and  her  aptitude  for  writing  made  her  a 
“natural  ’  as  feature  editor  of  the  Red  and  Black  and  Co-Editor  of 
the  Aberjona.  May  you  always  meet  your  dead-line! 

ROBERT  FRANCIS  PERRY 

Another  ardent  sports  fan.  Beany  wishes  to  become  a  sports 
writer.  (Of  course  the  fact  that  these  lucky  fellows  get  the  best 
seats  at  all  sports  events  couldn’t  have  anything  to  do  with  this 
ambition!)  If  you  want  to  know  how  your  favorite  team  made  out, 
just  ask  Beany.  He’s  got  the  qualities  to  make  good,  and  we’re  sure

Suave,  sociable  Pat,  he  of  the  Bing  Crosby  sport  jackets,  is  the 
despair  of  the  girls  in  the  senior  class.  With  a  limitless  capacity  for 
taking  part  in  a  large  number  of  activities,  he  is  a  well-rounded 
chap  (we  don’t  mean  physically)  and  is  so  friendly  and  cordial,  he’ll 
be  well  liked  wherever  he  goes. 

RICHARD  CHARLES  POWERS 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology 
Activities:  Honor  Roll;  Thrift  Association;  Hockey;  Baseball. 

A  permanent  member  of  the  Honor  Roll,  Dick  is  one  of  the  brilliant 
boys  of  the  class.  If  you  don’t  know  the  answer  to  something,  just 
ask  Dick.  An  incidental  hobby  of  his  is  that  blithe  making  and 
breaking  of  school  records.  However,  Dick’s  abilities  are  not  limited 
to  the  scholastic  held,  for  he’s  good  at  sports  as  well.

Pep  and  poise  describes  this  willowy  blonde  whose  scintillating 
personality  has  made  her  one  of  the  best  liked  seniors.  Her  winning 
ways  have  made  her  a  perfect  Head  Cheer  Leader.  Here’s  to  a  lass

has  time  for  a  word  and  a  smile  for  everyone.  After  due  considera¬ 
tion,  she  gives  bleached  blondes  as  a  pet  peeve,  but  it  takes  no  time 
at  all  to  determine  that  her  secret  ambition  is  to  be  lazy  all  her  life. 
Popular  with  all,  Betty  is  a  definite  asset  wherever  she  is.

winning  way,  Pat  is  sure  to  succeed  at  medical  school. 

ANN  RALLO 

Activities:  Vaudeville;  Chorus;  Red  Cross;  Dramatic  Club;  Cheer

We’ll  always  remember  Buttons  as  fun-loving,  friendly,  and  well- 
groomed.  Cheer  Leading  won’t  be  the  same  without  Ann,  who  is  a 
three-year  veteran.  This  petite  lass  is  virtual  proof  that  good  things 
come  in  small  packages.  Cheers  to  you,  Ann!

Dark  eyes,  wavy  blue-black  hair  and  a  bashful  grin  —  that’s  Pat, 
captain  of  girls’  basketball  and  all-round  athlete,  even  though 
drinking  unpasteurized  milk  put  her  out  of  commission  in  the  fall,

aspires  to  score  in  hockey  (the  gal’s  a  goalie!).

endeared  her  to  her  Warner,  New  Hampshire,  friends,  as  much  as  it 
has  to  us.  Even-tempered  Barb  will  fit  anywhere  because  of  her 
ability  to  keep  cool. 


MARJORIE  RYERSON 

Activities:  Class  Play  Committee;  Science  Club;  Golf. 

Doll-like  and  dainty,  Marj  is  a  witty,  merry  maid  who  keeps  other

Pleasant  and  helpful,  he’s  getting  experience  working  for  one  of  the 
local  grocers:  “The  customer  is  always  .  .  .”  Herbie  has  also  been 
helpful  in  the  Red  Cross,  as  many  a  frantic  representative  will  testify^

Humorous,  peppy,  and  poised  is  a  good  combination  of  adjectives 
for  Josie,  the  unfailing  center  of  attraction.  Josie’s  ambition  is  to 
be  one  of  those  artists,  and  we  think  that  she  has  much  talent.  Her 
interests  include  science  as  well  as  art;  and  her  ambition,  medical- 
artistry,  is  a  fortunate  combination  of  these  interests.

DONE  MOST  FOR  THE  SCHOOL 

If  you  look  up  their  records  throughout  their  four  years  in 
high  school,  you  will  find  that  Patsy  Eberle  and  Bob  Swanson 
have  outdone  themselves  in  working  for  the  betterment  of 
Winchester  High  School.  Deserving  worthy  praise  are  Ginnie 
Lovejoy  and  Tommy  Kirwan,  who  are  close  runners'up  for  this 
honor. 


WITTIEST 

The  score  was  close,  but  Mary  Penta  and  Parker  Flagg  came 
out  in  front  as  class  wits.  Immediately  behind  these  two  were 
Jackie  Geerts  and  Jimmie  Maguire,  who  are  seldom  at  loss  for 
a  witty  remark. 


BEST  ATHLETE 

Chosen  as  best  athletes  were  Patty  Root  and  Sam  Tibaudq. 
Besides  being  captain  of  basketball  and  football  respectively, 
they  are  both  three-letter  winners.  Dudie  Jennings,  twice  cap¬ 
tain  of  the  tennis  team,  and  Jimmy  Haggerty,  co-captain  of 
football,  were  seconds  in  this  race. 


BEST  FIGURE 

The  Charles  Atlas  award  of  our  class  goes  to  brawny  Jim 
Haggerty-.  Of  the  fairer  sex,  Irene  Lundin  easily  captured  the 
position  of  Venus.  The  second  figures  in  this  race  for  figures 
were  Ellen  Kenerson  and  Sam  Tibaudo,  who  counted  close  in 
the  voting.

Barb  Fry,  with  her  impressive  record  of  having  the  highest 
scholastic  rating  in  our  class,  and  Sam  Perkins,  that  mathematical 
wizard  who  doesn’t  trail  far  behind,  are  sure  to  go  a  long  way. 
Two  others  who  ought  to  go  far  in  this  world  are  Patsy  Eberle 
and  Don  Armstrong. 


MOST  POPULAR 

We  could  hardly  have  gone  wrong  when  we  selected  Patsy 
Eberle  and  Bob  Swanson  as  the  most  popular  boy  and  girl  in 
our  class.  Their  winning  personalities  have  won  for  them  a 
great  many  lasting  friendships.  Hats  off  to  Ginnie  Lovejoy 
and  Jimmie  Haggerty,  who  rival  them  for  first  place. 


BEST  LOOKING 

Of  the  feminine  pulchritude  in  this  class,  Phyll  Bucci  tops 
them  all.  Tall,  dark,  and  handsome  Jimmy  Haggerty  leads  the 
long  list  of  good'looking  boys.  Attractive  Dudie  Jennings  fob

Permanent  Honor  *^11 

“If  a  thing  is  worth  doing,  it  is  worth  doing  well.’’  How  familiar  is  that  statement!  Apparently  there 
are  some  people  who  can  practice  this  even  though  they  may  rather  do  something  else,  anything  else,  instead. 
In  our  first  three  years  of  high  school,  we  felt  no  such  pressure  from  colleges  as  we  now  do.  At  that  time  the 
draft  took  care  of  all  graduating  boys  and  the  girls  had  any  number  of  chances  to  go  to  college.  Now  we  suddenly 
find  ourselves  confronted  by  closed  doors  in  whatever  direction  we  look.  Peacetime  competition  with  the  added 
factor  of  veterans  competing,  both  for  education  and  jobs,  is  proving  a  stiff  wall  to  buck  against.  Hence  those 
who  have  maintained  such  high  averages  in  all  subjects  are  going  to  find  that  their  efforts  will  not  be  unrewarded. 
They  will  have,  besides  their  records  on  little  pieces  of  paper,  an  assurance  that  they  can  and  have  succeeded  in 
competition  with  one  hundred  and  forty  classmates.  They  have  experienced  the  sensation  of  success  not  as  a 
matter  ruled  by  chance  alone,  but  as  a  matter  affected  by  their  own  continued  efforts.  For  these  seniors  have 
maintained  yearly  averages  of  eighty  or  above  in  all  their  subjects  each  year  they  have  been  in  school,  from  the 
ninth  through  the  twelfth.  Nor  are  these  people  one-sided.  You  will  find  most  of  them  pictured  in  several 
activity  groups  elsewhere  in  the  book.  They  make  time  for  work  and  time  for  play.  More  power  to  them!

The  freshmen,  having  established  them'

and  Red  Cross  drives.  Incidentally,  Wad'

drives  has  never  been  beaten  by  the  main 
building.  Early  in  the  year,  the  introduc'

With  big  Bob  Swanson  heading  this  worthy  organization,  assisted  by  Eddie  Hicks  as  vice-president, 
Joe  Derro  as  treasurer,  and  Patsy  Eberle  as  secretary,  and  aided  by  a  hard-working  executive  board  including 
Jane  Rainie,  Dick  Brackett,  Ellen  Hight,  Nancy  O’Rourke,  and  Dick  Kugler,  the  Student  Council  carried  on  the 
big  business  of  the  school  admirably.  Perhaps  one  of  the  reasons  for  the  Council’s  success  was  the  fact  that  this 
year  there  were  two  faculty  advisers  instead  of  one,  Mr.  Card  supplementing  the  excellent  work  of  Mr.  Cooper. 
Continuing  the  paper  drive  of  previous  years,  a  committee  consisting  of  Dick  Kleber,  Jim  Maguire,  Dick  Brackett, 
and  Bill  Cunningham  collected  many  tons  of  much-needed  paper.  Instead  of  the  truck  employed  by  former 
Councils,  private  cars  were  offered  by  different  members,  and  home-room  time  was  devoted  to  going  from  house 
to  house,  gathering  amounts  too  large  to  be  carried  by  hand.  One  of  the  major  projects  sponsored  by  the  Council 
was  a  full-scale  cleanup  of  the  cafeteria.  By  means  of  catchy  posters,  home-room  notices,  and  an  efficient  monitor 
system,  an  appreciable  improvement  was  made  in  only  a  few  weeks.  Under  the  monitor  guidance,  many  improved 
in  their  aim  for  the  basket  and  tables  were  left  empty  of  refuse  and  waste  paper.  Mr.  Card  made  an  attempt  to 
reduce  the  din  of  the  lunchroom  by  offering  recorded  music  as  a  substitute.  The  plan  failed,  however,  because  of 
the  lack  of  a  workable  broadcasting  system.  Thus  the  Student  Council,  thanks  to  the  enthusiastic  members  and 
excellent  student  support,  carried  out  a  highly  successful  program  in  1945-1946.

satisfactory;  therefore,  after  midyears  a  traffic  squad  was  formed  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Weafer,  and  traffic

was  handled  by  Ginny  Lovejoy  and  her  staff  of  assistants.  The  Wadleigh  Building  was  under  the  direction  of 
Robert  Ekberg  and  David  Smith  who,  together  with  the  bankers  under  them,  strove  for  100  per  cent  every  time. 
The  Main  building  was  under  the  management  of  Pat  Patterson,  Vice-President,  and  Conrad  Rosander,  President, 
who  led  the  building  on  to  glorious  results.  It  is  hoped  that  the  Thrift  Association  has  accomplished  its  purpose 
in  school  life:  to  establish  in  each  student  the  habit  of  regular  banking  which  can  be  carried  on  into  later  life.

TheJ.  R.  C.  this  year  completed  one  of  its  most  successful  campaigns  under  the  careful  leadership  of 
Miss  Mackedon.  With  her  help  the  officers  and  the  executive  board,  consisting  of  Scott  Doub,  Nancy  O’Rourke, 
Roger  Creelman,  M.  J.  Browning,  Jan  Foley,  Bob  Halstead,  Scotty  Wallace  and  Sally  Holmes,  planned  the  entire 
year’s  work,  which  was  so  ably  performed  by  the  numerous  volunteer  home  room  representatives.  Since  the 
J.  R.  C.  was  relieved  of  its  onerous  task  of  selling  war  stamps  and  bonds,  it  could  now  devote  all  of  its  energies 
to  the  school  and  local  drives.  The  first  drive  of  the  year  was  for  the  membership  of  the  school.  They  attained  a 
hundred  per  cent  membership  and  oversubscribed  the  drive  by  forty  dollars,  which  went  into  the  working  fund. 
The  second  drive  of  the  year  was  for  ashtrays  for  use  in  veterans’  hospitals.  The  quota  was  one  hundred.  The  club 
collected  two  hundred  and  one  plus  contributions  of  seventeen  dollars,  which  went  into  the  treasury.  During 
the  winter  months  the].  R.  C.  still  kept  rolling  by  having  various  drives  and  contributing  their  services  to  different 
organizations.  In  the  latter  part  of  November  thej.  R.  C.  called  for  volunteers  to  help  fold  the  Christmas  seal 
letters.  Forty  students  turned  out  and  in  two  hours  prepared  three  thousand  letters  for  mailing  in  Winchester. 
The  first  week  in  December  brought  forth  the  third  drive  of  the  year,  that  of  collecting  Christmas  cards  to  be 
given  to  veterans  in  hospitals.  The  original  goal  was  five  hundred  cards;  nearly  thirteen  hundred  were  received, 
most  of  which  were  supplied  by  the  conscientious  efforts  of  the  freshman  class.  Early  injanuary,  on  the  request  of 
Mr.  Norris,  thej.  R.  C.  sponsored  a  clothing  drive  for  the  “Save  the  Children  Federation.’’  Sally  Holmes  made 
an  excellent  chairman,  and  enough  clothing  was  collected  to  fill  fourteen  large  bags.  Came  the  first  signs  of  spring 
and  thej.  R.  C.  set  about  to  complete  three  final  drives:  the  freshman  class  was  responsible  for  making  ten  comic- 
strip  books;  the].  R.  C.  as  a  whole  pledged  themselves  to  the  process  of  knitting  three  afghans;  Miss  Nivens’s 
sewing  class  was  apportioned  the  task  of  making  twenty-five  ditty  bags.  The  three  drives  were  brought  to  a 
successful  completion  by  the  faithful  and  diligent  work  of  their  numerous  volunteers.  The  Junior  Red  Cross  is 
looking  forward  to  sending  two  representatives,  Gerry  Maggio  and  Joseph  Santo,  to  the  Junior  Red  Cross 
Conference  in  Philadelphia  this  June.

Science 

The  officers  of  the  Science  Club  this  year  are  the  following:  President,  Peter  Meigs;  Vice-President,  ]ean  Alley;  Secretary, 
]oanne  Simonds;  and  Treasurer,  Sam  Perkins.  An  executive  board  was  chosen  to  help  plan  the  meetings  of  this  year.  It  consists  of 
eight  members,  who  were  chosen  by  the  club,  namely:  foan  Robinson,  Mary  ]ean  Browning,  Klaus  Halm,  Melissa  Meigs,  Thomas 
Thornton,  Robert  Halstead,  Frank  Gunby,  and  ]ohn  O’Brien.  The  club  has  been  very  ably  supervised  by  Doctor  Alley  and  is  much 
indebted  to  him  for  assistance  and  helpful  suggestions.  The  main  purpose  of  the  Science  Club  this  year,  as  it  has  been  every  year,  has 
been  to  stimulate  interest  in  science  and  the  progress  of  science.  There  were  lectures  on  the  atomic  bomb  and  its  chemical  make-up, 
and  genuine  secondhand  information  on  the  first  experiment  in  New  Mexico  from  Klaus  Halm.  Charles  Enwright  lectured  to  the 
club  on  jet  and  rocket  principles,  and  their  possible  use  in  aircraft  design.  With  the  use  of  several  diagrams  and  simple  experiments 
he  demonstrated  the  basic  laws  involved,  such  as  Newton’s  law  of  opposite  reactions.  Charles  discussed  and  compared  the  various 
types  of  engines  so  far  developed,  and  he  described  the  principles  used  in  each  case.  He  explained  different  fuels  u.sed  in  the  jet  planes 
and  the  charges  used  in  rockets.  Also  he  described  the  possibilities  of  interplanetary  travel  and  the  difficulties  involved.  On  March  6 
Kenneth  Donaghey  gave  a  demonstration  on  small  arms  ammunition.  He  discussed  the  various  powder  sizes  and  characteristics,  and 
the  effects  of  the  different  designs  of  bullets.  With  the  aid  of  several  specialized  tools,  Kenneth  loaded  a  few  shells  to  demonstrate 
the  processes  and  terms  employed.  Also  he  discussed  the  advantages  of  loading  one’s  own  shells,  such  as  greater  accuracy  and  lower 
costs.  At  the  end  of  the  meeting  Sam  Perkins  exhibited  a  German  late  model  automatic  pistol,  the  P-38.  At  the  November  meeting 
of  the  Science  Club  the  club  voted  to  spend  some  of  the  money  in  the  treasury  to  buy  something  that  could  be  used  in  the  Science 
Department  of  the  school.  The  club  decided  to  buy  a  blowtorch.  With  this  torch,  which  was  demonstrated  at  a  later  meeting,  it  is 
possible  to  obtain  temperatures  in  excess  of  1000  degrees  Centigrade.

“Find  the  smallest  number  divisible  by  thirteen  which  gives  a  remainder  of  one  when  divided  by  any 
number  less  than  thirteen.”  This  is  just  a  sample  of  one  of  the  more  difficult  problems  that  the  President  of  the 
Math  Club,  Sam  Perkins,  presents  now  and  then.  Age  problems,  intricate  geometric  originals,  brain  teasers 
that  not  only  test  mathematical  ability  but  also  knowledge  of  days,  weeks,  and  months  in  a  year,  progression 
problems,  exponent  equations  and  proportions  —  they  all  come  up  and  are  solved.  The  last  meeting  in  April 
was  a  mathematical  evening  party.  This  gala  event,  which  was  to  be  the  last  fling  of  the  mathematicians  before 
most  of  them  graduated,  was  complete  with  food  for  the  mind  in  the  way  of  numerical  crossword  puzzles  and 
numerous  other  tricks  pulled  from  the  sleeves  of  the  planning  committee.  Sam  Perkins,  Corinne  Marvin,  the 
secretary'elect  of  the  club,  and  Mr.  Butters,  the  faculty  adviser,  were  in  charge  of  the  evening’s  entertainment. 
The  high  spot  was  a  contest  that  was  carried  on  with  much  competition  from  both  sides.  Prizes  were  awarded 
to  the  lucky  ones  and  the  remainder  of  the  thirty  resolved  to  try  again  next  year  if  they  could.  Let  it  not  be 
said  that  mathematics  cannot  be  entertaining;  these  students  have  presented  conclusive  evidence  to  the  contrary. 
In  fact,  that  is  the  purpose  of  the  club,  to  have  fun  with  math.  What  might  seem  academic  to  some  is  a  joy 
forever  to  these  members.  Enthusiasm  to  “get  it  right”  runs  high  and  every  meeting  this  year  l^s  run  overtime. 
The  half  hour  allotted  for  the  meetings  never  seems  long  enough,  and  only  by  3.15  do  the  members  come  away 
reluctantly,  still  arguing  heatedly  about  the  last  problem.

Orchestra 


Every  Tuesday  morning  during  first  period  and  every  Wednesday  during  second  period,  the  orchestra 
meets  in  the  auditorium  for  fifty  minutes  of  hard  work  and  enjoyment.  The  orchestra  this  year  is  under  the 
direction  of  Miss  Stoddart.  It  has  added  notably  to  its  already  full  repertoire,  now  including  “Echoes  from  Grand 
Opera,”  “Pavanne,”  “Connecticut  Yankee,”  “The  Cossack  Dance,”  and  “Overture  to  the  Third  Act  of 
Lohengrin.”  The  orchestra  made  its  1945-1946  debut  on  the  fifteenth  of  December,  supplying  an  overture 
for  theJunior'Senior  Class  Play.  Its  selections  included  “Echoes  from  Grand  Opera”  and  “The  Cossack  Dance.” 
Its  next  appearance  was  just  before  the  Christmas  holidays  when,  together  with  the  Choral  Art  Group,  it 
presented  a  Christmas  program  to  the  Rotary  Club.  This  year  the  officers  have  included  Kenneth  Brandt  as 
president,  Joseph  Giacalone  as  vice-president,  and  Max  Keeney  as  concert  master.  With  the  concert  for  an 
ultimate  goal,  the  orchestra  members  have  worked  diligently  and  enthusiastically  to  smooth  their  tones  and  shade 
the  finished  product.

After  months  of  hard  work  and  persistence  W.  H.  S.  organized  a  band.  The  Framingham  football  game 
was  the  event  for  the  first  public  appearance  of  the  band,  which  added  much  spirit  and  enthusiasm  to  the  gathering. 
The  band  made  its  debut  without  the  attraction  of  uniforms,  however.  When  these  arrived,  the  band  was  the 
feature  attraction  of  a  special  assembly.  The  entire  student  body  was  much  impressed  by  the  sight  of  Winchester 
High’s  own  band  clad  in  the  traditional  colors,  red  and  black.  During  the  half  at  the  Wakefield  game,  our  band 
played  school  songs  and  marched  on  the  field,  led  by  Charles  Enright  and  the  drum  majorettes.  The  band  pre¬ 
sented  an  excellent  appearance  and  showed  its  skill  in  music  as  well.  After  this  the  band  played  at  the  remainder 
of  the  football  games  and  at  school  assemblies.  The  forming  of  this  band  was  the  realization  of  an  idea  long 
cherished  by  the  students  and  townspeople  of  Winchester.  N4iss  Alma  Stoddart,  the  band’s  director,  Mr.  Norris, 
our  superintendent,  Mr.  Graves,  as  acting  principal,  and  many  others  deserve  especial  credit  for  the  sympathy 
with  which  they  received  the  idea  of  a  band  and  the  help  they  gave  to  furthering  its  organization.  Tom  Kirwan 
is  president;  Dave  Wylie,  vice-president;  Joe  Giacolone,  treasurer;  and  Marion  Horwood,  secretary.  Bob  Duck¬ 
worth  and  Ted  Covert  as  equipment  managers,  and  Dave  Frizzell  as  business  manager  have  all  functioned  admi¬ 
rably.  The  band  has  greatly  added  to  school  life  and  has  become  a  vital  part  of  Winchester  High.

Through  the  ivy-mantled  halls  of  W.H.S.  can  be  heard,  on  Wednesday  and  Thursday  mornings,  the  strains 
of  “Symphony”  or  “Czechoslovakian  Dance  Song.”  If  one  were  to  trace  these  melodious  strains  to  their  source, 
he  would  hnd  assembled  in  the  auditorium  a  mixed  chorus  of  over  two  hundred  voices,  all  under  the  capable  direc¬ 
tion  of  Miss  Alma  Stoddart.  The  membership  of  the  chorus  this  year  was  so  large  that  it  seemed  advisable  to 
divide  the  club  into  two  groups:  the  Red  Chorus,  composed  of  former  members;  and  the  Black  Chorus,  composed 
of  new  members.  The  hrst  public  appearance  of  the  Chorus  this  year  was  at  the  Greater  Boston  United  War  Fund 
program  held  on  October  7  in  the  Winchester  Town  Hall.  Then  came  the  Christmas  season  and  a  Choral  Art 
Group,  consisting  of  thirty  selected  voices,  together  with  the  Orchestra,  presented  a  Christmas  program  to  the 
Rotary  Club;  just  before  school  adjourned  for  the  holidays,  the  entire  Chorus  presented  a  candlelight  program, 
consisting  of  the  traditional  carols  and  a  tableau.  In  April,  Vaudeville  time  arrived.  For  this  event  the  Choral 
Art  Group  and  other  selected  groups  spent  much  time  rehearsing  and  the  final  effect  reflected  much  credit  on  them. 
Sue  Right  was  elected  president  of  the  Girls’  Glee  Club;  ]ennie  Lou  Elliott,  vice-president;  Sally  Blanchard, 
secretary;  and]ane  Rainie,  treasurer;  Ellen  Right,  Dorothy  Hickey,  Mary  Stuart  Parker,  and]oan  Donaghey  have 
served  as  librarians.  Sam  Tibaudo  was  elected  president  of  the  Boys’  Glee  Club;  Sam  Bellino,  vice-president; 
Frank  Serratore,  secretary;  ]oe  Derro,  treasurer;  and  Danny  Maffeo,  Tom  Drapeau,  ]im  Haggerty,  and  Mario 
Buzzotta,  equipment  managers.  A  most  successful  May  concert  was  the  climax  of  the  season.

The  Choral  Art  Group  was  originally  a  group  chosen  from  the  Girls’  Glee  Club  to  sing  at  a  Rotary  Club 
luncheon  at  Christmas  time.  Since  then  the  group  has  continued  to  sing  together.  At  the  Christmas  Concert 
Thomas  Drapeau  sang  with  the  group  in  one  of  their  songs;  Gerry  Clifford  was  the  soprano  soloist.  Taking  part 
in  the  V'^audeville,  the  Choral  Art  girls  sang  well  in  the  “Aberjona”  skit.  The  group  sang  several  numbers  at  the

Before  the  majority  of  W.H.S.  students  graduate,  they  have  the  experience,  at  least  once,  of  being 
hounded  by  harried  editors  of  our  four'page  paper  to  sit  down  and  be  creative  about  a  recent  basketball  game  or 
last  Friday’s  assembly.  With  Ginny  Lovejoy  and  Marilyn  Campbell  as  Co'Editors,  the  Ral  and  Black  has  reported 
all  the  latest  news  and  the  most  recent  trivia.  Since  for  the  first  time  in  years  the  Red  and  Black  was  pulled  out  of 
debt  by  the  superlative  efforts  of  Advertising  Manager  Rosemary  Drohan  and  her  staff,  an  assortment  of  cartoons 
was  purchased  to  help  boost  the  artistic  side  of  the  paper.  Some  of  the  new  columns  to  be  found  in  the  Ral  and 
Black  are  “Parenthesis”  by  Dick  “Neal  O’Hara”  Brackett,  and  Ed  Hicks’  inspired  sports  articles.  On  the  front 
page,  the  news  scoop  of  the  return  of  our  principal,  Colonel  Crindle,  the  news  briefs  marshalled  under  the 
heading  of  “Under  the  Ivy”  and  all  W.H.S.  activities  have  been  correctly  reported  to  the  student  body.  At  the 
core  of  the  Red  and  Black  are  the  editorials,  written  to  show  the  editor’s  and  the  staff’s  views  about  controversial 
questions  arising  in  our  school  life,  questions  that  range  from  smoking  to  examinations.  The  feature  page,  edited 
by  Marg  Parkhurst,  has  provided  interest,  fun  and  levity  throughout  the  year.  With  the  cooperation  of  the  staff 
of  the  Windiestcr  Star,  who  print  our  paper,  and  Mr.  Keeney,  our  faculty  adviser,  the  Red  and  Black,  during  a  star- 
studded  year,  has  again  proved  itself  a  popular,  important,  and  much-needed  highlight  of  Winchester  High  School.

It’s  an  education  in  itself  to  be  part  of  a  yearbook  staff.  For  hours  you  chew  the  end  of  a  pencil  trying 
to  dream  up  a  clever  idea;  then  a  whole  flock  of  them  comes  along,  but  each  includes  expensive  layouts  or  impos' 
sible  arrangements.  Then  you  look  for  another  pencil  to  chew  while  you  try  to  tone  your  ideas  down.  Or, 
being  given  an  assignment,  you  wonder  where  in  the  dictionary  you  can  find  three  hundred  words  that  might 
apply  to  such  an  unpromising  subject.  However,  someone  must  have  found  some  words,  for  here  they  are! 
Miss  Crockett,  our  faculty  adviser,  supplied  the  push  to  get  us  going  and  kept  us  polishing  the  product.  Marg 
Parkhurst  and  Joan  Robinson  were  chosen  as  co'editors  for  this  year’s  publication.  Marg  has  lined  up  the  various 
assignments,  writing  numerous  articles  herself.  Joan  has  worked  with  Miss  Crockett  and  Richard  Blackham 
arranging  the  dummy.  Rosie  Drohan  has  spent  many  hours  arranging  group  pictures,  and,  after  the  pictures 
were  taken,  more  minutes  trying  to  decide  who  in  all  photography 'could  possibly  be  represented  by  that  blur 
of  white  over  a  dark  pair  of  trousers.  But  after  all,  none  of  this  would  have  been  of  great  value  —  just  a  waste  of 
paper,  midnight  oil,  and  study  periods  —  if  Bob  Spang,  our  busy  and  efficient  business  manager,  hadn’t  pro- 
vided  us  with  a  sufficiency  of  funds.  Tom  Kirwan  and  Richard  Blackham  cropped  our  senior  pictures.  Tom 
put  together  our  candid  pages,  too.  Speaking  of  pictures,  we  send  orchids,  etched  ones  of  course,  to  June  Moffette 
for  the  art  work  on  the  various  division  pages.  Myrna  Zamanakos  and  Phyl  Bucci  undertook  the  task  of  having 
the  typing  classes  put  our  material  in  proper  shape  for  publication.  Right  now  things  are  looking  up,  articles 
are  rolling  in,  pictures  are  finding  identification  tags,  and  there  seems  to  be  a  definite  possibility  that  we’ll 
get  something  between  those  red  and  gold  covers.

Aherjona  Society 

Football  heroes,  athletic  teams,  honor  roll  students,  and  good  sportsmen  have  always  been  recognized 
by  awards,  but  those  hard  working  committee,  club,  and  vaudeville  participants,  who  are  the  backbone  of  school 
life,  now  have  their  own  awards  in  the  form  of  a  maroon  emblem.  This  recognition  has  been  given  since  the 
inception  of  this  honorary  society  in  1943  by  Bert  Moore.  A  high  school  education  is  not  only  the  routine  of 
studying  in  a  classroom  or  belonging  to  a  sports  team.  It  is  also  a  period  when  students  can  try  to  find  out  what 
particular  fields  of  work  attract  them  most  and  to  which  they  are  best  suited.  This  is  what  the  Aberjona  Society 
encourages.  To  become  a  member  one  must  have  earned  a  total  of  thirty  points.  Many  students,  however, 
received  well  over  this  number  of  points  this  year,  and  some  have  become  members  in  their  junior  year  because 
of  their  unusually  high  number  of  activities.  The  points  range  in  value  according  to  the  honor  of  the  position.  A 
few  individuals  secure  coveted  points  by  having  received  “A”  averages  in  their  subjects.  If  he  has  the  requisite 
points,  a  newcomer  to  Winchester  High  School  may  become  a  member  in  good  standing  of  the  Aberjona  Club. 
The  Society  list  has  been  revised  since  it  was  first  published,  and  plans  are  now  started  to  make  the  list  of 
credits  for  membership  definite  and  inflexible  so  that  only  the  most  worthy  activities  will  be  recognized.  There 
is  a  saying  that  we  get  out  of  our  lives  just  what  we  put  into  them,  and  this  holds  true  also  in  our  high  school 
life  and  in  our  honorary  Society,  the  Aberjona  Club,  in  which  all  students  are  offered  the  opportunity  to  gain 
the  respect  and  recognition  of  their  fellow-students  through  direct  contribution  and  capable  participation  in 
worthwhile  activities.

Library  0-uh 


Did  you  ever  wonder  who  mends  the  torn  pages  in  our  library  books,  who  keeps  those  long  crowded 
shelves  in  order,  who  takes  care  of  the  library  showcase,  the  lost  and  found,  the  attractive  exhibits  that  have 
appeared  in  the  library  all  through  the  year?  Ah,  wonder  no  more,  this  is  where  the  Winchester  High  School 
Library  Club  rolls  up  its  proverbial  sleeves  and  goes  to  work.  Each  week  every  member  of  the  club  gives  up 
one  of  her  study  periods.  During  these  forty  minutes  out  of  every  week  these  members  are  gaining  an  insight 
into  the  system  of  checking  books  in  and  out,  and  of  how  books  are  classihed.  Each  is  responsible  for  her  own 
length  of  book  shelf,  which  must  be  kept  clean  and  in  order.  These  girls  work  at  the  desk  and  also  in  the  confer¬ 
ence  room,  rejuvenating  and  mending  books.  The  junior  librarians  entertain  in  the  library,  or  go  far  afield  for 
bowling,  roller  skating,  splash  parties,  and  picnics.  Voluntary  committees  arrange  programs  for  the  meetings 
after  school  in  the  library.  Games  about  books  and  authors,  skits  and  other  activities  designed  for  pleasure 
only  are  the  order  of  the  day  in  these  lively  assemblies.  The  seniors  of  the  club  who  act  as  right-hand  men  to

Ferro,  Dottie  Hickey,  Eileen  Welch,  Mary  Carroll,  and  Mary  Armato.  Vice-president  Jerry  Maggio  and 
Secretary  Angie  Dattilo  are  also  active  in  the  club,  and  will  carry  on  the  program  next  year.

(Dramatic  Society 

The  year  1946  marked  a  high  spot  in  the  already  fabulous  career  of  the  Dramatic  Society.  Under  the 
deft  direction  of  Miss  Bailey,  with  Mark  Strawbridge  handling  the  back  stage  work,  the  Society  produced  three 
one'act  comedies.  The  first  of  these,  a  sparkling  saga  of  the  American  home,  was  “Who  Gets  the  Car  Tonight?” 
Starring  in  this  play  were  Ellen  Kenerson,  Rosanne  Borden,  Conrad  Rosander,  John  Patterson  and  Dick  Brackett. 
The  second  production,  entitled  “Rehearsal,”  was  something  new  and  different,  for  it  portrayed  the  cast  of  a 
play  while  rehearsing  just  before  the  opening  night.  Featured  in  this  unusual  production  were  Barbara  Johnson, 
Dorothy  Byford,  Barbara  Hammond,  Rosanne  Borden,  Carolyn  Reeves,  and  Sue  Neily.  The  third  and  final 
presentation,  “The  Crimson  Cocoanut,”  was  a  comedy  in  which  bomb  plots  were  rampant.  A  seasoned  cast 
included  Jennie  Lou  Elliot,  Dorothy  Clarke,  John  Rutherford,  Pat  Patterson,  Bob  Singer  and  Dick  Brackett. 
The  Dramatic  Society  succeeded  in  creating  an  enjoyable  interlude  in  the  more  serious  program  of  the  student 
body  and  gave  its  members  an  opportunity  to  tread  the  boards  and  wander  in  the  pleasant  land  of  make-believe.

JunioV'Scnior  (21^155  Play 

“]unior  Miss”  was  presented  to  a  record-breaking  house  and  at  times  threatened  to  rival  the  equally  record-breaking  Broad¬ 
way  production  of  the  play.  The  play  was  presented  to  the  Marine  General  Hospital  several  days  before  the  scheduled  date,  and  thus 
the  cast  was  well  seasoned  before  the  curtain  went  up  in  the  Winchester  High  School  auditorium  on  December  15.  The  pressure  of 
midyears  prevented  the  acceptance  of  Lovell  General  Hospital’s  invitation  to  present  the  play  there.  The  play  is  a  satirical  saga  of 
an  American  home,  and  therefore  centers  around  the  perplexing  activities  of  the  younger  daughter  of  the  household,  ]udy.  This  part 
was  ably  portrayed  by]ennie  Lou  Elliott,  who  showed  professional  qualities  in  her  adaptation  of  the  part  of  a  twelve-year-old  girl. 
Her  masterful  handling  of  this  role  played  a  major  part  in  the  success  of  the  production.  As  Harry  Graves,  ]ack  Grimes  was  a  typical 
mustachioed  father,  bewildered  by  the  antics  of  his  young  offspring.  As  his  wife,  Grace,  Sue  Hight  brought  out  the  patience  and  under¬ 
standing  of  a  typical  American  mother.  Natalie  Warsky,  in  the  part  of  Fluffy  Adams,  reproduced  the  indomitable  candor  of  the  younger 
generation  and  provided  the  audience  with  many  laughs.  She  was  well  supplemented  by]im  Maguire  as  her  brother  and  Charles 
Enright  as  the  young  man  of  science,  breaking  in  his  first  tuxedo.  Ellen  Kenerson  portraying  Lois  Graves,  a  typical  older  sister,  was 
characteristicallv  disgusted  by  her  younger  sister’s  unsophisticated  ways.  Her  mvriads  of  beaux.  Bill  Knights,  Briant  van  der  Wyk, 
]im  Haggerty,  ]ohn  Rutherford,  Parker  Flagg,  and  Pat  Patterson,  appropriately  showed  up  at  the  most  embarrassing  moments  and 
permitted  themselves  to  be  told  to  leave  time  and  again  by  whoever  happened  to  be  on  the  stage.  The  irrepressible  Hilda,  played 
by  ]oan  Robinson,  had  her  troubles  with  the  duties  of  the  maid  of  the  house  and  played  her  part  to  the  utmost.  Dick  Kleber,  the 
business  tycoon,  was  excellent  in  his  part,  giving  it  the  exact  amount  of  gruffness  and  abruptness  that  it  demanded.  Dorothy  Clarke, 
in  the  romantic  lead,  combined  the  urbanity  of  a  well-to-do  young  business  woman  with  timidity  of  first-love  to  perfection.  The 
other  half  of  the  romantic  team  was  Dick  Brackett  as  Uncle  Willis,  who  hopes  he  .succeeded  in  being  tall,  dark,  and  fascinating  (but 
as  he  is  writing  this,  he  hesitates  to  commit  himself).  Bill  Cunningham  and  Arthur  Tutein  handled  their  parts  superbly  and  added  the 
levity  so  necessary  to  any  successful  comedy.  ‘‘]unior  Miss  ”  was  well  directed  by  Mr.  Kotkov,  and  to  him  the  success  of  the  play  is 
credited.  He  showed  remarkable  skill  in  reproducing  the  atmosphere  of  the  time  and  place.  The  unusually  fine  scenery  was  due  to 
the  efforts  of  Mark  Strawbndge  and  his  crew  of  stage  hands,  Klaus  Halm,  ]ack  Wentworth,  Donald  Goss.  ‘‘]unior  Miss”  was,  we 
think,  equally  enjoyable  to  both  the  participants  and  the  audience.

“In  the  Spring  a  young  man’s  fancy  lightly  turns  to  thoughts 
of  vaudeville!’’  That  exciting  word,  “Vaudeville!’’  spreads 
through  the  corridors  of  Winchester  High  School  every  spring. 
All  winter,  students  look  forward  to  “showtime’’  and  out  of  the 
chaos  of  casting,  costuming,  and  rehearsing,  finally  emerges  a  show,  enjoyed  by  those  in  it  as  much  as  by  the 
audience.  This  year  the  show  had  a  plot  centered  around  the  little  town  “Aberjona,”  which  bore  a  strange 
resemblance  to  Winchester.  This  resemblance  increased  as  the  plot  unfolded.  From  the  return  of  war 
veterans  to  the  organization  of  a  canteen,  all  the  problems  of  a  small  town  were  illustrated.  No  one  who 
saw  the  show  will  ever  forget  Mario’s  “awakening,’’  Tom  Drapeau’s  singing,  or  the  swirling  costumes  of 
the  Tango!  Tom  and  Gerry’s  duet  added  a  definitely  professional  touch  to  the  show.  Because  of  the  pop' 
ularity  of  the  dance  choruses  in  past  years,  this  year  there  were 
six  dance  groups  —  two  tap  choruses,  three  pony  choruses,  and 
an  unusual  dance  called  a  Fire  Dance.  To  mention  all  the  acts 
in  the  Vaudeville  would  take  many  pages.  It  would  be  better  to 
say  —  the  Vaudeville  this  year  was,  as  always,  a  success!

Athletic  Association 

This  year,  the  Athletic  Association,  under  the  capable  leadership  of  President  Bdl  Knights,  had  another 
successful  season.  Serving  on  the  executive  board  and  figuring  much  in  the  operation  of  the  A. A.  were  Don 
Armstrong,  Jim  Morrison,  Jane  Rainie,  June  Moffette,  Pat  Patterson,  Frank  Nolan,  Libby  Fenno,  Tom  Kirwan, 
Jim  Haggerty,  and  Mr.  Hayward,  Coach  Knowlton,  and  Coach  Matthews.  The  first  project  the  A. A.  under' 
took  was  a  membership  drive,  which  for  the  third  year  in  a  row  ended  with  the  goal  of  100  per  cent  being 
reached.  Throughout  the  football  season,  rallies  were  held  to  arouse  the  school’s  spirit  and  to  introduce  new 
cheers.  The  Fall  Sports  Dance  was  held  in  the  latter  part  of  October  and  the  Midwinter  Dance,  the  Saturday 
after  midyear  exams.  Both  were  well  attended  and  were  financial  successes.  In  December  the  A. A.  spon¬ 
sored  an  All-Sports  Banquet.  More  than  three  hundred  people  attended,  including  letter  winners  in  all  sports, 
coaches,  local  newspapermen,  the  Auxiliary  Police  who  assisted  at  the  home  football  games,  and  the  group  of 
men  who  drove  the  football  team  to  out-of-town  games.  The  Mansfield  Cup  was  presented  to  Sam  Tibaudo, 
captain  of  football  and  three-letter  winner;  and  the  Wheeler  Cup  went  to  Patsy  Eberle,  also  a  winner  of  three 
varsity  letters.  The  Fourteenth  Annual  Vaudeville  Show,  supervised  by  Mr.  Hayward  and  Coaches  Matthews 
and  Knowlton,  again  proved  to  be  the  highlight  of  the  year  in  entertainment.  For  the  first  time,  the  entire  show 
had  a  central  theme  and  all  acts,  dances,  and  skits  were  blended  into  a  more  unified  performance.  As  in  past 
years,  about  one-third  of  the  students  in  the  school  appeared  in  the  show.  Throughout  the  year,  the  efforts  of 
President  Bill  Knights  and  the  executive  board  kept  the  Athletic  Association  the  mam  organization  in  the  school.

^Majorettes 

During  the  school  year  of  1945-1946  two  innovations  came  about,  both  meeting  with  great  success. 
The  first  of  these  was  a  school  band,  the  second,  as  a  complement  to  the  first,  a  group  of  majorettes.  When  the 
candidates  first  met,  it  was  discovered  that  although  a  few  had  had  a  little  previous  experience,  for  the  most 
part  the  organization  would  have  to  be  worked  up  from  scratch.  Ten  girls  from  the  many  candidates  were  chosen 
and  practice  began  immediately.  The  first  few  practices  were  held  in  the  auditorium,  and  this  training,  although 
not  extensive,  was  very  valuable.  As  soon  as  the  girls  had  mastered  the  fundamentals  they  ventured  forth  onto 
the  football  field  for  practice.  On  the  first  day  of  outdoor  practice  such  interruptions  as  five  groups  of  football 
players  dashing  hither  and  yon.  Boy  Scout  doings,  and  sundry  other  matters,  threatened  to  disrupt  the  group  and 
bring  about  mutiny  in  the  ranks.  But  by  dint  of  much  effort  order  was  attained  and  practice  continued.  After 
a  number  of  practices  the  girls  were  ready  to  march  with  the  band;  this  constituted  working  out  difficult  maneuvers 
such  as  making  an  arch  of  batons  under  the  goalposts.  Finally,  after  many  trials  and  tribulations,  everything  was 
ready.  The  first  public  appearance  of  the  majorettes  was  made  at  the  Reading  game  and  a  grand  psychological 
moment  it  was.  Winchester  went  on  to  win  that  game  and  from  the  moment  the  majorettes  walked  out  onto 
the  field,  their  position  in  the  school  was  assured.

Foothall 

It  was  doubtful  what  kind  of  football  team  Winchester  would  field  with  only  two  of  last  year’s  reg' 
ulars,  Captain  Haggerty  and  Armstrong,  returning,  but  the  rest  of  the  squad  was  rounded  out  with  experienced 
veterans  from  last  year’s  powerful  second  team.  With  a  solid  front  line  of  Armstrong,  Nichols,  Rutherford,

Whittemore,  Herlihy,  Derro,  Flagg,  and  Jacobellis  opening  up  holes  for  such  backs  as  Haggerty,  West,  Bellino, 
and  Buzzotta,  how  could  the  Red  and  Black  help  but  have  another  fine  season? 

With  the  first  game  at  Swampscott,  Winchester  was  up  against  a  foe  that  had  been  practising  all  through 
August.  Swampscott  scored  in  the  third  quarter,  but  Winchester  came  right  back  with  West  plunging  over. 
Haggerty  kicked  a  perfect  placement  to  give  Winchester  a  7  to  6  victory.  Getting  most  of  the  erratic  playing 
out  of  their  systems  in  this  game,  Winchester  easily  beat  Lexington  and  Watertown  by  identical  scores  of  13  to  0. 

The  all-round  play  of  Haggerty  and  Bellino  brought  the  Red  and  Black  to  life  in  the  second  half  to 
beat  a  powerful  Winthrop  team  13  to  6.  Bellino  scored  both  touchdowns  and  outshone  “Bomber”  Neal,  the 
Winthrop  star.  The  next  Saturday  the  team  traveled  to  Stoneham,  where  they  outclassed  a  weak  home  team  to 
the  tune  of  26  to  0.  An  inspired  Framingham  team  visited  Manchester  field  and  ran  away  to  a  26  to  7  triumph. 
After  going  into  the  lead  7  to  6  at  the  start  of  the  second  half,  Winchester  fell  apart  and  before  the  final  whistle 
blew,  Framingham  had  scored  three  more  touchdowns. 

The  next  week-end  Winchester  played  an  undefeated  Reading  team.  Winchester  was  not  only  out  to 
prove  that  they  were  still  a  fine  team,  but  also  to  avenge  the  only  defeat  of  last  year.  After  stopping  some  dan¬ 
gerous  Reading  threats,  the  home  team  started  rolling.  With  West  scoring  twice  and  Bellino  once,  the  home 
team  rolled  up  a  22  to  0  victory.  Belmont  was  the  next  opponent  and  although  it  was  an  evenly  fought  contest, 
Winchester  emerged  the  victor  on  Johnny  West’s  touchdown  and  Haggerty’s  conversion. 

Wakefield  was  the  strongest  team  we  faced  all  year,  but  due  to  some  excellent  punting  by  Haggerty 
and  plunging  by  West,  Winchester  came  out  with  a  0  to  0  tie.  Both  teams  threatened,  but  neither  could  break 
the  deadlock.  Leading  his  team  against  rival  Woburn,  Captain  Haggerty  scored  three  touchdowns  in  Win¬ 
chester’s  26  to  7  victory.  It  was  a  well  deserved  finish  for  a  great  team  and  next  year’s  squad  should  do  as  well, 
if  not  better,  with  six  of  the  starters  returning  next  year. 

Some  of  the  highlights  of  the  season  were  the  return  of  Captain  Sam  Tibaudo  for  the  last  three  games; 
the  gang  up  at  Lou’s  after  a  game  or  scrimmage;  Rutherford  and  Flagg  blocking  kicks;  Haggerty,  running  instead 
of  punting;  the  chorus  in  the  showers  led  by  Mario  Buzzotta;  and  Nichols’  run  in  the  Reading  game.  All  this 
made  it  another  season  to  remember. 

Coach  Knowlton  with  Assistants  Seferian,  Webster,  and  Stevens  and  Lou  Goddu,  who  kept  the  players 
in  condition,  deserve  much  credit  for  making  the  season  so  successful.

The  1946  field  hockey  team,  under  the  able  leadership  of  Capt.  Ginny  Lovejoy,  put  away  their  shin 
guards  and  sticks  with  a  feeling  of  satisfaction,  for  they  had  a  very  successful  season.  In  the  opener,  Winchester 
bowed  to  a  strong  Arlington  team  2-0,  but  the  girls  put  up  a  good  fight.  Improving  steadily,  when  the  second 
game  came  along  they  managed  to  hold  Stoneham  to  a  scoreless  tie.  They  outplayed  Stoneham  throughout  most 
of  the  game,  but  somehow  they  just  couldn’t  get  into  the  scoring  column.  All  this  experience  paid  off  when  the 
girls  came  through  to  defeat  Lexington  1-0,  Sue  Neiley  scoring  the  goal.  Libby  Fenno  scored  a  lone  goal  in 
beating  Malden  by  the  same  score.  Lib  Fenno  and  June  Moffette  tallied  to  give  W.H.S.  a  one-point  win  over 
strong  Medford.  Another  one  pointer  was  with  Belmont,  June  Moffette  making  the  only  score.  Those  one- 
pointers  could  not  last  indefinitely;  and  the  result  was  a  tie  with  Melrose,  Libby  Fenno  again  the  only  scorer. 
Playing  in  the  wings.  Sue  Neiley  and  “Rabbit”  Donaghey  did  a  fine  job  in  carrying  the  ball  down  the  alleys  into 
the  scoring  circle.  At  inners.  Captain  Ginny  and  Captain-elect  Libby  could  be  found  dogging  their  opponents 
and  making  for  the  opposite  goal.  Libby  is  deserving  of  her  captaincy  next  season  for  she  was  high  scorer  for 
the  year  with  three  goals.  Center  “Muffin”  Moffette  was  always  there  to  start  the  game  with  a  snappy  bully, 
and  she  was  the  season’s  runner-upper  in  the  goal-getting  department  with  two  tallies.  Patsy  Eberle,  last  year’s 
second  team  captain,  played  a  fine  game  at  right  halfback,  and  she  was  one  of  the  fastest  players  on  the  team. 
Her  running  mate  was  left  halfback,  Carolyn  Reeves,  whose  one  hand  lunges  reminded  us  of  a  “polo  player.” 
In  between  them  was  center  half,  “M.  J.”  Browning,  as  great  on  offense  as  she  was  on  defense.  Marnee  Norris 
and  Dudie  Jennings  were  at  right  and  left  fullback  respectively,  where  Marnee  excelled  in  the  long  drives; 
Dudie  was  famous  for  her  scoops  and  dodges.  Between  the  white  posts  two  goalies,  Eileen  Welsh  and  Patty 
Root,  operated.

The  Winchester  pucksters’  record  of  four  wins  and  seven  losses  and  a  tie  does  not  look  too  impressive, 
but  five  of  those  losses  were  by  one  goal.  Led  by  Captain  Armstrong,  who  scored  sixteen  goals  and  nine  assists, 
Winchester  was  not  outclassed  in  any  of  its  games.  Combining  with  Armstrong  on  the  first  line  was  Moose 
Merrow  at  center  and  Scott  Doub  at  right  wing.  The  second  line  was  at  one  time  or  another  composed  of  these 
players:  Bill  Dingwell,  Pete  Priest,  Dick  Powers,  Frank  Livingstone  and  Whip  Saltmarsh.  Helping  Bill  Cun' 
ningham  around  the  goal  were  Spang,  Wilson,  and  Ulrich  on  defence.  Winchester  won  its  first  game  by  beating 
a  fast  Belmont  Hill  team  6  to  4.  The  next  game  found  Winchester  losing  a  heartbreaker  to  Watertown  4  to  3. 
Not  until  Watertown  had  scored  four  goals  did  the  Winchester  pucksters  get  going,  but  they  were  able  to 
get  back  only  three  of  those  goals.  Winchester  easily  beat  New  Prep,  even  though  the  score  was  only  3  to  2. 
The  Red  and  Black  ten  lost  its  next  three,  games,  although  any  one  of  them  could  have  gone  the  other  way.  The 
scores  were  2  to  0  to  Watertown,  4  to  3  to  Stoneham,  and  again  4  to  3  to  Andover.  The  team  then  came  back 
to  beat  a  powerful  Wakefield,  3  to  2.  The  pucksters  outplayed  Marblehead  during  the  whole  game,  but  lost 
2  to  1  due  to  the  superb  play  of  Marblehead’s  goaler.  The  Winchester-Watertown  game  ended  in  a  2  to  2  tie. 
We  beat  Browne  and  Nichols  3  to  1 ,  but  then  dropped  a  6  to  4  verdict  to  Medford  in  the  final  seconds.  In  the 
last  game  of  the  season,  Winchester  lost  to  a  powerful  Wellesley  team,  11  to  5.

Although  a  season  of  seven  wins  and  twelve  losses  is  not  an  impressive  record  for  the  Winchester  team, 
one  must  remember  that  the  boys  had  a  difficult  schedule.  Playing  hve  games  against  such  Tech  Tourney  teams  as 
Newton,  Lexington,  and  Belmont,  the  hoopsters  did  well.  Led  by  their  sharp  shooting  captain,  Pat  Patterson, 
who  amassed  222  points  in  18  games,  Winchester  never  let  down.  Towering  Roger  Latham  was  center,  and 
besides  being  second  highest  scorer  on  the  team,  he  set  up  many  other  baskets.  Jimmy  Olivier  and  Frank  Nolan 
alternated  at  right  forward,  both  being  very  tricky  and  fast.  At  the  guard  positions  Sam  Tibaudo,  Dean  Blanchard, 
and  John  West  saw  a  great  deal  of  service.  The  Red  and  Black  got  off  to  a  bad  start,  losing  five  out  of  their  first 
six  games.  For  the  remainder  of  the  season  Winchester  held  its  own  against  all  opposition,  except  for  the  BeL 
mont  game  in  the  Boston  Garden.  Being  the  first  time  any  of  the  boys  had  ever  played  in  the  Garden,  they  got 
stage  fright  and  were  walloped  to  the  tune  of  58  to  32.  In  the  second  Lexington  game,  Winchester  gave  the 
league  champs  plenty  of  trouble,  although  they  finally  lost  46  to  36.  Winchester  nearly  upset  a  powerful 
Melrose,  but  weakened  in  the  final  quarter  and  Melrose  won  40  to  38.  They  easily  took  two  games  from  Wake¬ 
field  and  Concord.  In  fact,  in  the  last  game  of  the  season  with  Concord,  the  hoopsters  really  got  hot  and  tossed 
in  a  total  of  81  points.  The  most  exciting  game  of  the  year  was  with  Governor  Dummer,  both  teams  being 
plenty  hot.  With  one  minute  to  go.  Governor  Dummer  led  50  to  48,  but  then  Patterson  scored  two  quick 
baskets  to  make  it  52  to  50.  Although  Winchester  tried  to  stall  for  time,  one  of  their  passes  was  intercepted 
and  with  fifteen  seconds  to  go  they  were  behind  53  to  52.  Jimmy  Olivier  then  took  things  into  his  own  hands, 
scoring  a  basket  and  foul  shot  to  give  the  hoopsters  a  55  to  53  win.  The  prospects  look  bright  for  next  year 
with  Olivier,  Blanchard,  and  West  coming  back  and  Switzer,  Bellino,  and  Maffeo  up  from  Winchester’s  second 
team.  The  team  was  ably  managed  by  Parker  Flagg  and  his  assistants.

Girls’  basketball 


The  team,  led  by  Captain  Patty  Root,  had  a  fairly  successful  season,  considering  the  fact  that  there 
was  only  one  returning  veteran  from  last  year’s  varsity.  It  ended  the  year  with  four  wins  and  three  defeats. 
The  forward  trio  of  Captain  Patty,  Barb  Fry,  and  Marnee  Norris,  and  guards  Dudie  Jennings,  Patsy  Eberle, 
and  Kirkie  Marvin  composed  this  year’s  varsity  team.  Both  Mary  Jean  Browning  and  Bobby  Johnson  saw  a  lot 
of  action  as  substitutes.  High  scorer  this  year  was  center  forward  Marnee,  a  newcomer  to  the  school,  with 
61  points  to  give  her  an  average  of  8.7  points  per  game.  She  will  always  be  remembered  for  her  “swishers” 
from  mid-court.  Barb  is  another  newcomer  to  W.H.S.,  and  she  certainly  was  a  great  addition  to  the  team. 
She  was  elected  acting  captain  for  the  team  when  the  girls  met  Arlington.  Patty,  last  year’s  high  scorer,  was 
not  far  behind  Marnee  with  an  average  of  8.0  points  per  game.  Making  only  one  foul  in  three  years  of  playing 
is  a  remarkable  feat,  and  Dudie  possesses  that  distinction.  Patsy  has  often  been  compared  to  “Jack-in-the-box,” 
and  to  see  her  jump  you  would  think  so,  too.  Kirkie,  “Just  call  me  16,”  could  cover  more  ground  on  a  pivot 
and  bounce  than  any  other  member  of  the  team.  Vlary  Jean,  in  the  Arlington  game,  proved  herself  to  be  first 
team  material  by  being  high  scorer.  The  second  team,  under  the  able  leadership  of  Jane  Rainie,  although  it  did 
not  show  an  impressive  record,  gave  many  girls  actual  game  experience.  This  will  be  most  valuable  in  forming 
next  year’s  team.  The  final  result  was  two  wins  in  seven  starts.  Neither  the  first  nor  second  team  could  have 
done  nearly  so  well  if  it  had  not  been  for  the  excellent  coaching  of  Mrs.  Matthews,  and  not  to  be  forgotten 
are  Manager  Ginny  Lovejoy  and  Assistant  Managers  Jane  Sharon  and  Peggy  Holmes.

Girls’  Tennis 

This  year  the  prospects  for  a  good  season  are  excellent,  for  Mrs.  Matthews  can  count  on  hve  returning 
varsity  players  to  form  the  nucleus  of  the  team.  With  last  year’s  impressive  record  of  four  wins,  and  the  3-2 
heartbreaker  with  Winsor  behind  them,  the  team’s  outlook  is  bright  for  a  successful  season.  Number  one  on  the 
team  is  Ruthie  Murray,  from  whom  great  things  are  expected;  only  a  sophomore,  Ruthie  played  number  one 
part  of  last  season  and  she  won  her  share  of  the  matches.  She  ranks  among  the  top  of  junior  New  England  players. 
Captain  Dudie  Jennings,  number  two,  is  playing  her  third  year  on  the  varsity.  Dudie’s  skill  in  handling  a  tennis 
racquet  was  rewarded  when  she  received  her  second  tennis  captaincy,  having  led  last  year’s  team  through  its 
successful  record  of  four  wins  and  one  loss.  Junior  Libby  Fenno  rounds  out  the  returning  singles  players.  We 
will  never  forget  some  of  Libby’s  matches  last  year;  somehow  she  seemed  to  have  trouble  keeping  score!  Libby 
won  most  of  her  matches  and  should  be  a  great  addition  to  the  team  this  year.  Next  on  the  list  is  another  junior 
New  England  player,  sophomore  Ann  Albree.  Ann  has  always  done  well  at  the  Longwood  Cricket  Club 
tournaments;  with  a  year  of  varsity  behind  her  she  should  have  a  good  season  this  year.  Last  of  the  hve  returning 
veterans  is  senior  Patsy  Eberle.  Patsy  is  a  steady  player  and  can  always  be  relied  on  to  win  her  share  of  the 
games.  Manager  Patty  Root  has  jumped  to  sixth  place,  having  held  the  number  nine  spot  all  last  season.  Besides 
alaying,  Pat  will  also  take  care  of  the  various  managerial  cfuties.  With  such  a  lineup  as  this,  Winchester  should 
lave  no  trouble  in  coming  out  on  top  in  1946.

The  1946  tennis  team  promises  to  be  no  exception  to  Winchester’s  rule  of  producing  a  winning  team. 
With  five  returning  lettermen,  the  team  is  bound  to  go  places.  This  year  Coach  Rogers  expects  nothing  less 
than  the  State  Championship.  Captain  Rosander  and  Bob  Halstead,  who  are  two  of  the  best  schoolboy  players 
in  the  State,  top  the  list.  Eben  Caldwell,  a  consistent  winner,  will  be  in  the  number'three  spot.  Eben  is  closely 
pressed  by  five  others  who  will  vie  for  the  remaining  three  positions  on  the  team.  They  are  Sheldon  Caldwell, 
Dick  Hills,  Charles  Watson,  Roger  Swanson,  and  Bill  Knights.  Because  of  the  competition,  a  player  will  have 
to  stay  at  his  best  or  he  will  surely  find  himself  on  the  sidelines.

Track  Squad 

As  we  come  into  the  spring,  the  old  cinder  path  once  again  feels  the  patter  of  many  a  flat  foot,  and  sinks 
deeper  into  the  mud  of  Manchester  Field.  Sultry  whiffs  of  the  Aberjona  waft  lightly  under  the  noses  of  pufhng 
humanity,  but  despite  these  provocations,  the  cold  damp  weather,  shin-splints,  sore  muscles,  and  tender  feet, 
these  anxious  souls  strive  for  the  approaching  contests  with  great  expectation.  The  schedule  this  year  has 
extended  over  a  wider  range  of  schools  than  is  customary,  and,  with  more  home  meets,  will  surely  increase  interest 
and  school  spirit.  The  only  change  in  events  this  year  has  been  the  elimination  of  the  mile,  since  most  schools  and 
the  state  championships  do  not  include  it.  Running  in  the  100  we  have  John  West,  Dom  Jacobellis,  Charlie 
Flynn,  and  Pete  Dillingham,  while  Ben  Coe,  Don  McFarlane,  and  Dom  Jacobellis  make  up  the  220  team.  The 
Quarter  Mile  team  is  composed  of  Don  Berridge,  Bob  Beranger,  Peter  Sorokin,  Ben  Coe,  and  Captain  Tom  Kirwan. 
In  the  half  mile  Jack  Grimes,  Frank  Gunby,  Dave  Wylie,  and  Tom  Kirwan  complete  the  team.  John  West,  Bill 
Whittemore,  and  Bill  Nichols  heave  the  shot;  John  Holdsworth,  Dave  Wylie,  and  Ben  Coe  are  high  jumpers; 
Don  McFarlane,  Charlie  Flynn,  Pete  Dillingham  and  Roger  Creelman  handle  the  broad  jump.  This  year’s 
captain,  Tom  Kirwan,  is  an  outstanding  runner  and  a  great  leader.

The  Cross-Country  team,  led  by  their  great  captain,  Tom  Kirwan,  had  a  record  of  two  wins,  two  losses, 
and  a  second  in  the  St.  John’s  Quadrangular  Meet.  Although  most  of  the  opponents  had  much  more  experience 
at  this  distance  than  Tom,  he  went  through  an  undefeated  season.  The  team  commenced  its  conditioning  under 
Larry  Parker,  and  started  the  competitive  season  ably  coached  byjohn  Downs.  The  Winchester  harriers  included 
Captain  Tom  Kirwan,  Ted  Covert,  Bob  Halstead,  Bob  Williams,  Joe  Giacalone,  Bob  Palson,  and  Manager 
Henry  Dempsey.  The  Red  and  Black  twice  lost  to  a  veteran  Arlington  team,  but  easily  beat  Concord  and 
Woburn.  In  the  quad  meet  at  Danvers,  St.  John’s  finished  with  a  slight  edge,  although  Winchester  again  out¬ 
distanced  the  remaining  teams,  Woburn  and  Concord.  Our  runners  had  the  advantage  of  practicing  over  one 
of  the  most  grueling  courses  in  this  section,  thus  enabling  them  to  run  with  comparative  ease  over  unknown 
courses.  Captain  Tom  Kirwan  finished  the  season  in  a  blaze  of  glory,  by  winning  the  Interscholastic  Cross- 
Country  Championship.  Next  season  should  bring  forth  a  throng  of  enthusiasts,  making  cross-country  a  popular 
high  school  sport  again.

This  year  the  baseball  squad  should  have  another  hne  season,  with  six  returning  veterans  in  the  starting 
lineup.  Pat  Patterson’s  professional  play  around  hrst  has  proved  that  he  will  be  a  great  asset  to  the  team.  Dean 
Blanchard  and  Jim  Olivier  will  be  playing  their  second  season  at  third  and  second  respectively.  Sam  Tibaudo, 
playing  his  fourth  season,  is  not  only  the  leading  hitter  but  also  one  of  the  best  shortstops  in  schoolboy  baseball. 
Captain  Twig  Nolan  will  be  playing  in  right  field  and  will  keep  the  team  right  in  the  fight  for  the  Middlesex 
Championship.  Sam  Bellino’s  speed  and  daring  base  running  will  assist  the  team  greatly.  Tom  Cogan  will 
play  in  center  field.  Without  any  of  last  year’s  pitching  staff  remaining,  Coach  Knowlton  must  find  someone 
to  take  the  places  of  Washburn  and  Roche.  Don  Armstrong,  Buff  Flynn,  Pete  Priest,  Jack  Chisholm,  Bob  Plunkett, 
Bob  Roth,  and  Al  Switzer  have  all  shown  promise.  Bob  Wilson  will  be  behind  the  plate.  Others  who  will

in  the  infield  as  well  as  the  outfield.  Behind  Wilson  in  the  catching  department  will  be  Jack  Filler  and 
Ken  Dickson.

Prophecy 


’Twas  a  stormy  night  on  the  good  ship  Bradford,  first  of  a  long  line  of  clipper  ships  to  be  put  out  in  the 
year  1960  by  the  new  Whitten  Company.  Shirley  Bonnell,  on  her  way  to  California  to  enjoy  the  warm  surf  and 
juicy  oranges  during  the  winter  season,  was  delighted  to  find  a  graceful  sailboat  touring  the  Pacific  Coast.  The 
siren  in  this  dainty  craft  was  none  other  than  Marion  Horwood,  practising  her  aria  for  the  evening  broadcasts 
from  Santa  Monica.  Jerry  Johnston,  heading  for  Mexico  with  Nancy  Marceau  and  “Timmy,”  summoned  Mary 
di  Mambro,  whose  cruise  was  to  continue  around  the  world,  to  the  other  rail.  Here  they  were  thrilled  to  find 
another  traveler  from  the  home  town,  Winterchest;  but  even  more  thrilled  when  they  found  that  Rose  Mary 
Ferro  had  undertaken  a  water  hostel  trip,  swimming  ten  miles  each  day. 

Back  home  Bob  Perry,  the  sports  editor  for  the  “Winterchest  Rats,”  a  new  daily  publication,  was 
feverishly  pegging  out  an  article  describing  the  greatest  sport  he  had  seen  since  his  days  at  school.  It  seems  that 
Gordon  Mills,  a  renowned  chemical  engineer,  had  developed  a  chemical  compound  to  stimulate  growth  in  plants. 
His  secretary,  Lyn,  with  her  usual  accuracy,  had  written  C  instead  of  Cw  when  copying  the  formula.  Through  an 
involved  process  of  errors,  Marcia  Turner  had  drunk  some  of  this  solution,  which  she  had  intended  to  try  on  her 
sick  cactus.  Anna  Rallo,  the  eye  witness,  swears  it  took  no  longer  than  twenty  minutes  for  Marcia  to  reach  her 
present  status,  six'foot'two  with  eyes  of  greenish  blue.  This  was  enough  to  bring  President  Ferrara  home  from 
the  white  house  to  participate  in  the  local  celebration  of  Marcia’s  extravagant  growth. 

Over  in  the  Town  Hall  with  Richard  MacNeill  presiding,  plans  for  this  event  were  rapidly  coming 
to  a  head.  Leonard  Landry,  full  of  long-winded  ideas,  suggested  that  they  take  advantage  of  the  big  name  singers 
in  the  home  town,  Anna  Comita,  with  the  Ted  G.  Gyvers  and  Pauline  Comita,  the  rising  crooner.  Henry  Roberts, 
owner  of  the  new  jalopy  plant,  suggested  that  Mary  Dean  should  do  the  play-reading  she  had  given  at  the  Shubert 
last  month.  The  radio  executive,  Mark  Strawbridge,  offered  to  broadcast  it  if  John  McHugh  would  send  men 
out  from  his  electric  shop  to  set  up  the  wiring.  He  agreed  to  send  out  Jean  Marceau,  his  expert  riveter;  but  Dick 
Powers,  a  promising  scientist,  could  see  no  reason  for  rivets  or  wire  or  anything.  He  and  Peter  Meigs  had  developed 
the  ultimate  utopia  of  communication.  Their  compact  apparatus  was  already  in  existence,  several  coils  of  it 
spreading  through  Mary  Mullen’s  cellar,  a  few  small  transformers,  twelve  feet  by  thirty-five,  sitting  in  Barbara 
Hammond’s  living  room,  and  the  diminutive  microphonic  apparatus  filled  the  dining  room  at  Evelyn  Keith’s 
house  with  only  a  three-foot  valve  jutting  out  the  window.  Dr.  Doucette  objected  that  these  new  fangled 
contraptions  were  always  blowing  luses  and  the  town  had  no  money  to  waste  for  fuses,  hence  McHugh  should 
send  out  the  electricians  and  the  good  old  F.  M.  bands  would  carry  their  broadcast. 

The  conference  was  interrupted  at  that  point  when  Sergeant  Derro  brought  in  J.  B.  R.  He  had  finally  real¬ 
ized  a  long  standing  ambition  to  get  said  J.  B.  R.  intoxicated.  Sergeant  Derro’s  other  arrest  of  the  year  had  been 
cause  for  humor  at  the  Gunby  home.  Frank’s  antipathy  for  people  who  went  to  bed  at  9.30  on  New  Year’s  Eve 
had  led  him  to  devise  a  megaphone  that  would  yell  “Fire”  and  to  use  it  a  bit  too  extravagantly.  His  partners  in 
crime,  Bobby  Beranger  and  Kenny  Symmes,  had  carelessly  driven  the  “Diable  Rouge”  with  this  freak  phony 
through  Winterchest  center.  Chief  Cogan  came  tearing  out  of  the  station  flying  a  trail  of  glowing  cigar  ashes 
behind  him.  Seeing  this  proof  positive,  Shirley  Raymond,  who  had  charge  of  tooting  the  fire  whistles,  started 
playing  “Chickory-chick”  on  them.  So  Sergeant  Derro  had  had  quite  an  evening  calming  the  town. 

In  the  midst  of  this  reminiscent  conversation,  the  cheerful  graveyard  director,  Frank  Livingstone,  dropped 
in  to  announce  that  Cecilia  Malloy  was  going  to  give  him  a  new  rush  of  business  by  opening  an  airport  on  Man¬ 
chester  Field.  He  had  almost  decided  to  hire  Lillie  McCane  to  be  nurse  at  the  field,  but  remembering  her  Southern 
accent,  he  decided  not  to  make  accidents  quite  so  attractive  to  young  pilots;  so  he  planned  to  install  a  couple  of 
St.  Bernards  instead.  When  Barbara  Walters,  the  clever  youth  specialist,  teased  Frank  about  his  latest  tomb¬ 
stone  interpretation,  he  had  to  admit  that  he  had  thought  all  sorts  of  things  about  the  Hollywood  graveyard 
directors.  He  had  heard  that  Mary  Amato  was  a  ghost  writer,  and  he  was  all  for  crusading  against  directors  that 
would  make  an  inmate  write  to  earn  her  daisies.  Jane  Burchett,  who  had  just  finished  her  third  historical  novel, 
had  finally  disillusioned  him,  explaining  away  the  ghost  from  a  ghost  writer.  Joanne  Simonds  had  supplied  the 
illustrations  for  Jane’s  novels,  and  with  each  novel  she  earned  more  acclaim  for  their  technique  and  feeling. 

Thus  we  find  Winterchest  and  its  inhabitants  just  like  those  of  Aberjona  Town  fourteen  years  earlier, 
just  like  those  of  Centerville  and  Riversdale,  but  suspiciously  familiar  and  delightfully  different.
